I'll give you £10 if your willing to pick the shipping up lol

-gaz

[Oneslowz28]

$250-300

[Datech]

I'd say max $250. I'd have to see pictures of the case to judge resale quality of the mod, and some wouldn't want to buy OC'd RAM without testing their stability.

[SPARTAN1630]

the ram is perfectly stable. its only slightly overclocked he stock freq was 800hz i only put i up to 810 and besides its a great system you can barely tell it was modded as long as your looking at i from the side look at it from the top and bottom you can tell it was

[pcclan]

$1000

[Zephik]

One MILLION dollars! *raises pinkie to mouth* muahahahahaha

(in all seriousness though, around $250)

[Datech]

You didn't put your mobo in here, but we'll assume $150 new, $100 now.


Even if you bought this case new, with both graphics cards and all three drives, you would only have to pay $1080.

If you bought the case as is without the future upgrades: $880 new
If you didn't sell the current drives and graphics card, and just went with the 1TB and GTS 250: $865 new.

And to reiterate, that is the new price, i.e. what it would take to replicate that system as best I can without risking used components.

We then take into account that even though the 8600 is a Fatality edition, it is still 2.5 generations old by now: -$75
You didn't include speakers with the list, so the sound card would be useless without the buyer getting new speakers: -$35
The case is modified and I don't have evidence of the quality: -$40
Cold Cathodes, DVD Drives, and CPU coolers aren't worth much on resale: -$100

Then you take into account that the entire system is being purchased used, and I usually divide by 2 for that, but thats just me.

Final Datech-certified value: $307

So, with that math, we now talk about actually buying and selling. If you are setting a price for people to consider, I recommend $400. If I was a buyer offering you a price I would go no higher than $275.

Hope that helps.

Are you looking to sell it or are you just curious? I wouldn't buy any upgrades for it if you're planning on selling it because you'll only lose more money.

[Oneslowz28]

Datech's price breakdown was spot on.

[x88x]

Yep, Datech's right on. I would also say about $400.

[SPARTAN1630]

i may sell in the future. im only curious now. because the tech illiterate around the world are just balls crazy over custom gaming machines. the motherbpard is an ECS A790GX-A and it plays everything you can think of...crysis on al high gets maybe 25-30 fps plays all call of duty games at maxo,im with 40-50 fps all source and or steam games fps's are through the roof

[SPARTAN1630]

$1000

i may try to sell it for that, but if i sell it on ebay like i plan to i might be able to up the anty maybe $200 if it doesnt sell then ill stick with the $1000 alot of people are harsh about my machinem cant go all out on parts in a depression, and a $600 budget on initail build and maybe upgrades once a month which also are on a strict budget

[BuzzKillington]

Even if you bought this case new, with both graphics cards and all three drives, you would only have to pay $1080.

You will not get $1200 for this machine.

[Oneslowz28]

Similar setups on ebay are selling for >500

[SPARTAN1630]

You will not get $1200 for this machine.

maybe from people who actualy know computers like us, but like i said, theres alot of tech illiterate people out there wo are just balls crazy about having a custom PC, and i could get 1200 for it, for its speed and power i could easlily ask for it regardless of what it has in it. i understand how you guys are judging it by its parts, but in the end its all about perfrmance and belive me, my beast preforms and doesnt dissapoint

[Datech]

Cool, let us know what it sells for.

[blueonblack]

Best of luck, always, but don't be surprised if it doesn't sell. Just a month or so ago I sold a similar system, it had an FX-62 2.8 CPU and only 4GB of RAM, but it also had two HD4670 video cards, a closed-loop CPU water cooler and a motherboard capable of running quad-crossfire video and I had to list it four times in Craigslist and Ebay both to sell it for $650.

Like the sale of any used item, it depends entirely on the market at the time, so you never know. There may be a sucker out there just waiting for it.
