Hopefully its ok to post this here in the General forums :)
 
A friend of mine who's been asking me to build him a PC for a while finally got down to actually wanting me to do it.  On a whim i asked him if he'd want to just buy my current PC, and i could just use the money from it to buy myself a new one rather than just upgrading the one i currently have.
 
Thing is.. im not sure how the asking-price for used PC's is (in good working order).
 
So.. the spec's on my current machine is:
 
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Gun Metal (Mid Tower)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3970X Extreme Edition 3.5GHz (Six Core)
Motherboard: ASUS P9X79 LE [SATA III, USB 3.0]
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Primary Hard Drive: Samsun 850 EVO 250GB SSD
Secondary Hard Drive: Samsung 850 Evo 500gb SSD
Tertiary Hard Drive: Samsung 850 Evo 500gb SSD
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti Hydro Copper Gaming 6GB
Power Supply: 1000 Watt
Operating System - Windows 10 Pro 64bit
 
Any thoughts on what would be a fair asking-price for this?
 
*quick update!*
 
forgot i had replaced the Primary / OS Hard-Drive! forgot to update my notepad file. Has been updated with the new Drive now.

Go to amazon and New Egg and research what each of your systems components are selling for. Then go 60% of the total value. Pay particular attention to the video card availability. If it isn't available then ask more for that item.

I actually did that at first.. though didnt take such a large mark-down... i was only really looking at the CPU and GPU costs though, not the entire thing.

Probably around $1300.
 
 
 

If it was my friend, i would talk them into building a new system. That is the best option for them. All the parts will be brand new and still under warranty. Use a website like https://pcpartpicker.com/ to make a parts list for CPU/MOBO from AMD and Intel.

With Graphics Card prices so high and a beastly 6 core cpu like that, you could easily charge over $1000 without much guilt.
