This guy wants me to offer him something for his gaming rig, and since I don't have the knowledge of gaming hardware as much as i'd like to I thought i'd ask some people here. Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad q9450 - 2.66ghz - 12mb of cache - 1333mhz FBS CPU Cooler - Ultra Chill ThermoElectric cpu cooler with a monitor that sits in one of the disc drives Motherboard - 780i - triple SLI support RAM - 8gb of 1066mhz OCZ oced to 1300mhz Video Cards - 3 x 8800gts 640mb each - That 2gb all together - They are running in SLI Hard Drive - 1000gb or 1tb Seagate - 32mb cache Optical - LG DVD-RW CD-RW super multi dual layer drive Power Supply - 1200watt Antec true power Case - Raidmax Dirk - 2 aka Smilidon - tooless case (in good condition - It has a front door to cover the drives with 3 different versions of Windows installed on this computer Windows XP Pro 64 bit WIndows Vista Ultimate Back v2 2009 64 bit WIndows 7 Ultimate Also there is Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate
CPU: worth approximately $160 CPU Cooler: worth approximately $60 Motherboard: Really depends which ones - all 780i boards are absolute @£!*! though, so bear in mind the cost of replacing this when you buy the PC. RAM: Assuming that's DDR2 1200, not DDR3, it could be either, worth about $70 if DDR2. Also consider that overclocked OCZ RAM can be unreliable. Graphics cards: Very old and slow by modern standards, worth about $140 for the three. Hard drive: worth about $75. Check the version, if it's the new 7200.12 it is also likely to be unreliable. DVD drive: worth about $20 PSU: worth about $150 - but completely unnecessary, that PC only really uses about 600-650W total, and if you used more modern graphics cards, you could get the same performance with only 300-350W used. Case: worth about $70 depending on condition Operating systems and software only worth money if they are legal copies. Unless you can verify the authenticity of the software, the PC is worth roughly $850, but seriously, you're better off going elsewhere, that's not a very well thought out PC, you can do much better yourself - just ask us, we'll gladly guide you through making a PC much better than his for that sort of money.
Oh, that's a bit out of my price range...I was hoping something within the 300-450$ range, but even with my knowledge I know a good system at that price is few and far between. Thanks for the reply though. I guess I'll just have to keep looking.
Lol, that's true. Someone who built a PC with components like that may genuinely have no idea how much it's worth....
