My old computer

I am looking to upgrade / buy a new PC so I’m getting rid of my old one. What’s an estimated price you guys this a computer with these specs would be worth if I wanted to try to sell it? I’m so bad at knowing how to price things.

Intel(R) core™ I7-6800k
CPU @ 3.40GHZ 32.0GB RAM
Nividia Geforce GTX 1080
222GB SSD + 3TB HDD

I’ll pay you $500 for it. You could probably get more though.

  • also depends on what region/area of the world you live in and make sure it’s clean if you sell it.

Swap out the ssd for a 1T or the hdd for a ssd and your current PC is more than adequate.

Gotta list more specs than that, including case and stuff.

You can prob get 800 with the GPU. Personally I would sell the GPU separately and then sell the system without one. You’d get more for it.

People are selling 1080’s on Newegg for +$600… so somewhere around there.

No 6800k eh? you’re wrong

He’s using a HEDT setup

Still a very capable rig. You sure you don’t want to hold on to it as a backup?

GTX 1080 is going for about $500 on Ebay, that’s your big money part.

All the other individual components used are worth like $30-$60, LGA 2011-3 parts are dropping off hard. CPUs and general PC components have come a long way, whereas GPUs have not.

I’d never heard of that in consumer systems.

Troll Clarke finally wins one. lolol

Intel’s HEDT platforms were extremely popular. LGA 2011 was a custom build standard for years. Not so much now, both AMD and Intel offer gigantic HEDT style CPUs on their entry level boards.

They existed you weren’t paying attention hard enough at the time (2015 era)

Who abbreviates that? You mean a high end CPU. Got it. Running an 8700k OCd to 5ghz on my system. There is no 8800k for 8th gen, so that’s what I was thinking.

But anyway, sell the GPU for 400-500, and then sell the system for 400-500 with IGPU to make the most money. I don’t think you need to upgrade though. You can overclock that a good bit I would imagine and still play on mostly high settings.

You will not see a huge jump in performance with a newer GPU with WoW, so keep that in mind.

That’s because it was named different

They both launched at the same time your 8700k was released

HEDT is Intel’s marketing terminology, it originates from their i7 3970K launch slides

That’s still Skylake though, 8th gen is Coffee lake. Hence no 8th gen “8800” CPU.

Coffee Lake is refreshed Skylake…

Please go away. I’m really not here to get into a wikipedia article debate on CPU naming conventions.

Point I’m getting across is if you’re giving advice at least know your information before telling what OP should sell or not

Cause his CPU and GPU are still more than enough for WoW

Personally OP is fine with his setup all he needs is upgrade to a better SSD

Point I’m getting across is that you’re latching onto something that has nothing to do with the actual question the guy was asking. Of which I gave very sound advice. I built my system and the 4 previous, as well as friends systems, have stable overclocks on CPU, GPU and RAM of 15-27% and an avid tech enthusiast. I’m very qualified to give “friendly” advice like this thread asks for. So get off your CPU naming convention thing and go fly a kite.
