Hey Guys ... just looking for an idea on the resale value of an old gaming rig.?
i5 2400 Quad core
8GB DDRIII Ram
nVidia 9800GTX Factory Overclocked GPU
700w PSU
1TB HDD
Blu-Ray DVD ROM
DVD\RW
W7 Pro
It's all housed in a nicely cooled case with adequate fans very quiet (approx 20db) under full load
Windows7 scores of Processor 7.5 - Ram 7.8 - Desktop Graphics 7.2 - Gaming Graphics 7.2
All freshly re-installed and genuinely activated with latest updates and drivers
It's been a spare machine for a while and I find I don't have much use for it anymore ... so looking to flog it off and invest in another card to run Dual GTX 780's ... or bite the bullet altogether and upgrade to a GTX Titan Black.
I know what I'd like for it but I'm probably being overly optimistic as it's been a faithful machine so any opinions on what you think it's worth resale would be appreciated
Thanks for your answers guys ... I guess I should have listed a location ... I'm in OZ which might make it easier for some :)
AC your estimate of between RS 20 and 25k (rs25k = au$450) is about what my head tells me is getting "up there" ... IBMGuy if I had a firm offer of $600 I'd have to take it :) ... but much under that and it's worth keeping as a "spare"

This is the biggest problem will all electronics products. I don't think you can get more than 20 to 25K for this PC. I have upgraded my PSU from Cooler Master GX550 W model to Seasonic X-850W Modular one and I am selling my 1 year old psu for Rs. 2500 (purchase price 4500).

I wish you the best of luck trying to sell it. It is getting very hard to sell old PC hardware these days, especially a 3-4 year old machine. I would keep it as a spare as you already have done, you just wont get the money you want for it unless you are willing to sell very cheap.
