  1.5-2k

    I think 2k is a big high, maybe 1.3-1.6k at most.

  What does pc part picker list give you?
  Take that and then minus a reasonable %by age.

    PCPP brings me to $3007 - https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/2FKfTY.

    Would 30% be reasonable? (Roughly $2100 or so.)

      Not a chance, when you're up against systems like this for $2k - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/847778

      Yes you have a nicer GPU, better case and a $300 water cooler but people buying second hand machines don't care very much about that. You'd probably do better whacking an air cooler on it and finding someone else looking for the water cooling.

      I think you're getting there.
      Both OMGJL and AngoraFish have given you an optimistic ball park figure, so between $1,600 to $1,800.

      It's hard to beat current gen where you get this for $2k:
      7800X3D, 4070 Ti Super, B650 AX (shit mobo, yes), 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM $1999.

  The GPU there is the main thing worth any money. You'd almost be better off pulling that out and selling it separately. Almost.

  The CPU/mobo are AM4, and there are a ton of good deals around for AM4 at the moment since it's now been superseded so you're competing with new. Still, no reason you won't find a buyer at the right price.

  Most of the rest of the stuff is nice, but you'll take a haircut on that since it's enthusiast gear and enthusiasts like to build their own. Also, no gumby buying a full system will have any idea what you paid for the individual parts, and they're unlikely to be thinking about overclocking anyhow so you may as well be pushing stock.

  Frankly, what I'm still trying to get my head around is how little storage that build is packing.

  I'd think $1800 is a reasonable price to aim for.

  CPU: 400 (new one listed on OzB for 440)
  Cooling: not much, say $30-50, no body like second hand water cooling (leak, warranty, etc)
  mobo: a low end but brand new B550 is in the $150 range, your mobo is higher end but old, I'd say $180 (I think new ones is in the $300 range, but this is old platform..)
  RAM: $120
  SSD: this one is a QLC crap, $30
  HDD:$30
  PSU: $120
  GPU: $900 maybe
  case: $80

  the extra bit doesn't really hold its value.

  $1900.

  I think the price I listed out is on the generous side. The real value is more in the $1700-$1800 range, plus if you sell everything in a bundle, there's always some part that the buyers don't like, expect to get lower offers just for that.

    No chance mate - you're listing those prices as if they're new. This is a 3 year old system with used components. The CPU is currently $346 on amazon - NEW

    The thing going for it is the 4070ti so either sell that separately for around $800-900 or whack a couple hundred extra and sell it as a full machine around the 4070ti - so say $1200-$1300. It'll still get haggled down to about $1k realistically, which is probably the max I would pay for it. But there's lots of clueless people on marketplace so it may well be worth aiming higher and trying your luck.

      my comments is before CES, now this CPU is no longer "last generation" but 2 generation ago. Hence the price deduction.

      440 ish is around historical low when I made the comment.

      Tech change fast mate.

      OMGJL on 13/06/2024 - 11:12

      but even then, ram and other thing still holds the value.

      it's more like $1600 range, and account for bundling and second hand, more like $1400 range.

      $1000 definitely is low ball

        jk82 on 13/06/2024 - 13:02

        I don't think $1000 is lowball - you could get a brand new 4070S machine on AM5 platform & DDR5 that would perform very similarly to this machine for $1568 right now.

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/850807

        you could argue that some of those components aren't as good, but I'd take that (with a warranty) over 3 year old used parts.

          @jk82: on the deal you posted:

          • 7500f does gaming better, yes. but it's still only 6 cores, depends on the workload, this is a apple to orange comparison. (Cost similar)
          • stock cooler (-$30 watercooler)
          • DDR5 8Gx2 RAM is dog crap (because DDR5 8G stick is definitely x16 width, and x16 width have way less bank group, and more bank group = better random access speed) (DDR5 8Gx2 is worthless to me, but let's say it's $90, so worth $30 less, maybe even more)
          • worse case and PSU.

          This 2nd hand build:

          • worse gaming performance but better multi core performance
          • 4070ti is slightly better than 4070s (I know it's not much, but still)
          • Gigabyte Aorus cooling wise is way much better than the base model PNY
          • more ram with normal x8 width —- but I don't like 4 sticks because that destroy signal clarity for OC, still, it's not slower than those crappy 8Gx2 DDR5 and double capacity
          • crappy and smaller SSD (the other one is better, period)
          • have a HDD in addition
          • better case and PSU

  Anyone buying a second-hand PC is taking a huge risk that any part could go dead at any moment.Needs to be reflected in the sale price or you will struggle to sell.
