    You could try looking on eBay locally and see what similar PC s are going for?
    (Will your new system use the same RAM - might save some cash by recycling 8GB of RAM - not many purchasers will want 12GB.)

    No it's pretty crappy ram if you ask me. And I'll be getting new ram because of that.

    That really isn't a bad system. i7s from last gen are still very good.

    Putting it all together I would pay no more than $600 for that, if I were looking to buy a computer. I know I could build one for around that price, and the GPU is out of date, so...

    So would about 500 be the right price?

    You could get $600 for it. In fact, I'd start off at around $700 and pretend to lower the price. Worst comes to worst you lower it.

    Never had a bad experience myself so I'll start at 600 and if no-one takes it I'll lower it.

    WTF??? Why would you sell that PC??? You could just buy a new gfx card, elsewhere the CPU and RAM is purfect.

    But if you still want to sell it, I'd recommend first trying to sell it as whole, and then trying to sell the parts. I doubt there are many people who would risk and pay <500 for a second hand computer, even if you know it's in a good stance.

    I am going to sell it as whole never unless absolutely necessary do I sell individually. I also support ROFL Copters post.
