What is the highest amount that I could sell this PC for?

here is a NEW pre built system, comparable to yours, though yours has a monitor and it doesnt

maybe 300-400$ used, and maybe 200$ worth of time and effort spent trying to sell it for a grand total money making of 100-200$ .. id suggest just giving to to some sort of charity, a church, community centre, etc

While $400 is great for a used PC, This one is actually new except for the GPU and the CPU.

Adding new ones will make it good as new. The hdd and OS have never been used, and neither has the PSU. The case is new and the DVD burner is also. RAM is new and I'll be adding a new Monitor and keyboard and mouse and speakers.

What if I add a new game?

generally im correct, and the time it takes to figure out price, deal with potential buyers, etc, its a lot of effort

and both pc's have their better and worse attributes, but their generally the same.

Keep it and just sell it to someone locally who wants a PC, maybe someone who doesn't own a PC but wants one or put it on ebay and toss in a couple of games as a entry level gaming machine they are pretty well sought after so advertise it as a gaming machine and it'll play most games on high settings and someone will want it.

not even close, cpu would heavily bottleneck the whole system, it could barely play current games on absolutely bottom setting, on a good day.

system was improperly designed

$430 to $475 without the monitor, add on about 60-70 bucks if sold with the screen.

What are you talking about? That CPU will play the majority of games with no issues. Sure, it's not ideal... but it's no slouch.

i doubt he would get that for it, in a realistic used desktop pc market, but never hurts to try i guess

but saying itll run modern games on high with no problem isnt accurate, on low MAYBE .. depending on resolution

if you think a 50$ cpu can run crysis 2 and cod:mw3 on med or top setting and also will not bottleneck the rest of the pc then so be it lol, all good, just speaking reality, all i can do.

250-300$ on craigslist would be the best ideaIXSH0CKW4VEIX

ah a rational realist, welcome to the thread :)

might be a fairly nice pc, excluding the cpu, but a used craigslist pc will only get 1/3 or 2/3 a new retail price

hopefully thread creator lets us know how it all goes down :)

A "$50 CPU?" I don't see a $50 CPU in his build.. More like an 80 to 90 dollar one. Besides, it's an Athlon II quad-core, and they're damn good performers for the money. I guarantee that he can max out the detail settings in 90% of the games that have come out in the past 3 years up to about 1080p with that PC.

I sold it for five hundred do;;ars.

pretty lucky, guess i underestimated the used pc market, probably a fair price, just suprised you were able to get it

There are games that will be bottlenecked by an athlon quad, i have one, but the games that get bottlenecked are far and few between.

First of all you're completely wrong about an Athlon II X4 bottlenecking a gaming rig with a GTX 460 by any really significant amount in most games. The fact is that this type of CPU can run the vast majority of games maxed out with little to no problem. Secondly, there is no Modern Warfare 3 yet. I'm not sure that you should open your mouth about anything else PC hardware/software related for awhile.

probably just have a different standard of game playability on max settings, especially for cpu intensive games, all good doesnt matter.
