I was thinking about just giving this thing a wash, because I don't need a PC atm-- I could always keep the hard drive, sell it for less.., so For how much do you think I could sell this? I'm guessing $600 but here are some specs: Windows 7 Home [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115065]Intel i3 3.2ghz x2[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150502]Radeon 5830 1gb 256bit (core 800MHz memory 1000MHz)[/url] 12gbs RAM, 2x2gb 1333 G.Skill / 2x4gb 1600 Team Group [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130256]MSI 3GB/s USB 2.0 Micro ATX[/url] Seagate 1tb HDD (7200rpm, 32 cache) Sony Optiarc DVD drive Black Broadway Com mid ATX case, steel, w/ 3 80mm fans Xigmatek 600 watt It's decent, I built it for about $650 in March 2011. The 5830 is sort of 'deactivated', and it's home built So $600 maybe, because you can build the 'step up' for about $750 (USB 3.0 6gb/s Sata mobo w/ x2 PCI, 1.5tb HDD, Radeon 6870, Intel 3.3ghz sandybridge), assuming a $30 case For this computer, if you wanted to pad it a bit, you'd probly spend another $150 or so -- 'futureproofing' for another year or two-- a new mobo --2 pci slots, with a new case, and so on That's it
600$ for that? i can get a new i5 with a better gpu for that price 300-350$ because it is an old i3 which are pretty rubbish
I think you could get more by parting that thing out than selling it complete. But the only way you'd get $600 out of the deal is if you managed to hook an idiot. Also that PSU is an IED.
Sell the PSU to the taliban
i'll give you £233.33 for it.

Looks worth £200-250.
