Curious about the value of my latest build?

Lee H

Hi

I have just put together a new PC for my back room TV and I was quite surprised at the total cost of the parts as I bought a lot of old items of a well known site

So it made me think well if I paid this amount for it what is it actually worth

I wont tell you all what I paid until I have had a few responses but here is the rig, no DVD drive I dont need one I install W7 off a pen drive but for purpose of a sale SATA RW are 20 quid!

Case Antec 300
Motherboard Asus P5Q Deluxe
CPU Quad Core Q6600
CPU Cooler Coolermaster V8
Memory 4 Gig Corsair XMS2 1333Mhz 2 X 2 Gig
SSD HD OCZ Vertex 2 40 Gig
SATA HD 300 Gig
Graphics Card EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB
Power Supply 500Watt Axle AX-P500L Twister series

All comments welcome

Thanks

If you paid practically nothing for the CPU, motherboard, video card, and memory, yay! If you didn't, go cry into a pillow because you could have gotten more for your money now that Ivy Bridge and Trinity are out and on the loose.

I would guess $500-600 US dollars max.

Total came to £331 which was a lot higher than I first planned, suppose I didnt need the Coolermaster V8 because the mobo came with a Zalman fan but I plan on clocking to 3.6 so I opted for that one

If its worth around the 300 mark then am not that bothered I dont plan on selling anyway I built it cos I need it

Cheers
