Hold out lol, that's loving worth more than 350

Yeah exactly that. The case is that Corsair mini it one that's gigantic but has a horizontal orientation and plenty of aio mount points. The way I see it is:
I7 - 200
Mobo - 100
Ram - 100
SSD - 50
Case - 50
PSU - 75

So closer to 600, but meh.

If I parted it out completely I could easily get 250 for the CPU and over 200 for the Mobo at least

Apple has "gently caress you" money, but they'd have to invest about *half* of it to set up their own fab(s). It'd be one hell of an investment, and the only way it'd be profitable is if they became another TSMC and subcontracted them out or made DRAM/NAND for the general market. I can see their angle - right now whenever you buy an iPhone or Apple desktop or laptop, Samsung gets paid - it'd stand to reason they'd like to change that.

You're probably best parting it out honestly. I never really had any luck buying or selling used desktops.

Tell him you're parting it out, and link him to the individual listings for the components, that will cost him more.

I'd see it more like this. That mobo is the most depreciated part, compared to features now available.

350 is on the low end, and it's not worth it if the guy is weird. I'd start at 500, assuming there's a motherboard included too. If you're not including a motherboard then 350 is reasonable because you can't see it all work beforehand.

eh they'll sell, but you're right probably not for much. likely to get a dece amount for the motherboard (at least from my experience), it's a component that is always the first thing that always seems to loving break a few years in, then people are left with a computer that has perfectly good specs but for which they have to hunt on ebay for a replacement mainboard since no one makes one with that socket anymore. it's almost as if intel changing the socket every loving generation is actually really wasteful

it's a weird situation tbf - reminds me of trying to buy a wiimote and finding that it's oftentimes cheaper to just buy a wii, with a wiimote, on ebay since no one actually wants the console itself to the point where it's actually a net negative value

will add my voice to the chorus screaming 'part it out' also. i'm always tempted to just sell the whole system because i think it'll be less work, but it's actually easier just to pack and ship smaller parts individually than worrying about whether this heavy metal box with valuable electronics inside is going to get hosed up by the postman. depending on where you live you could probably just collection-only the case since you're prob not going to get much money for it anyway

Is that really true? I have a mini-itx desktop (i5 4690k and a mobo that pairs with the 'k' variant) that I'm pretty sure the GPU is dead because it runs fine on the integrated GPU but if I plug a monitor into the GTX 970 the computer just keeps crashing and rebooting. I don't really have much use for a desktop anymore but I also thought that the cpu being like 4 generations old would be worthless by now.

if the socket is more than a few generations old it's really loving difficult to find a replacement ITX motherboard tbf - probably a combination of ITX naturally being less popular then than it is now so fewer were made, and also the cases being more likely to be inadequately cooled so they break sooner (not to mention the likelihood of less robust circuitry, i know it's way more difficult to find an itx motherboard with a decent vrm solution as opposed to atx). pure conjecture ofc but they are kind of difficult to find and hence fetch a dece price. cases probably less so but you are dealing with fewer itx cases being on the market still, so they might deprecate less idk

There is a vast ocean of garbage-tier ATX and mATX boards that provide a relief valve for people looking for cheap parts and drive a thriving market in cases/PSUs/etc.

In contrast, mITX builds have substantially smaller sales volume, and often have compatibility issues that necessitate specific combinations of parts (cooler height, SFX or short PSUs, etc).

The better z68 and z77 boards still sell for $$ on Ebay. Also 2600K and 3770K chips still fetch ~$120-130, which is crazy.

You can also convince people that it's a good choice to go with these used parts by emphasizing just how (relatively) cheap used DDR3 is versus new DDR4.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder how much I could still sell my system for, especially considering the guaranteed OC from this combo of parts. Insane to me that a desktop system from 2011 is still performant today for everything I need. 2600K + P8P67 PRO + 32GB RAM.

550W

That product page does say 7 year warranty though, so that’s something I can look into.

I think I ran an equivalent i5 + 970 on that wattage for a year or two.. you might be right that it's your video card but it would be worth testing the system with a 600W or higher (just plug it into the headers while resting outside the case).

Or bring the video card to a repair shop and ask them if they'll test whether it's dead. The fee should be minimal and a 970 is still worth $$$$ with the graphics card market all hosed up by crypto

It's not that crazy given the 2600k and 3770k out perform the current gen ryzens, even overclocked, and matches or exceeds non-k intel chips (not overclocked) in gaming and other single thread limited tasks. Of course, they get smoked in workstation and productivity related stuff. I definitely wouldn't buy one over an r5 1600 or 1600x right now. The RAM savings are kinda nice on an extreme budget, DDR3 wasn't hit with price fixing.

With z77 you can bios hack m2 support as well, but there's no real point because SATA ssds are pretty much identical in real world performance and cost way less.

I suppose I might not even be interested without a delidded processor, tbh. The heat off that is going to be intense with Intel's toothpaste. gently caress them for not going with solder here. If they don't have the performance, it's not even worth it.
