Whats my comp worth?

Basically I’m looking to upgrade to a PCI-Express card… which means I need a new MOBO… and a new CPU… so why not just upgrade entirely?

Breakdown from memory -
Everything is in mint condition, and is less than 1 year old unless otherwise specified.

19" CRT - couple yrs old
PowMax case… plexi … neons… and lan handle. Looks pretty sweet.
450W PS - from that place next to gander mountain… 2 yr warranty or something
1G of Crucial RAM
180G 10,000RPM SATA HD
80G 7200RPM HD - 2 yrs old.
Floppy.
16x DVD writer
32x CD writer
ASUS P4P800 E-Deluxe MB
3.2G P4 CPU
9800PRO VC
Windows XP Professional - From work… so I guess its legit.
Photoshop along with other software :snky:

Misc stuff - 8 USBs, 1 gig lan connection, built in 5.1 sound, mouse, keyboard, mic, headset w/ mic,

I can’t think of anything else right now…
If you have questions, ask, I should have answers.

700 maybe?

SOLD!

Thanks sleepy.

I have more than that invested obviously… but I think I would take 7

apart from the vid card, thats some good stuff u got there. well even tho it is a pentium :(.

why are u selloing the whole thing, why not just get a new mobo and vid card?

If your looking to sell the whole thing, i can ask around here for ya, to see if anybodys interested.

:withstupi:

It’ll cost well more then 700 to replace that.

You have to think about the case as well, when upgrading to a new Mobo/Processor. If the mobo won’t fit the case, you’re fucked. I had that problem when I built this POS last year.

As far as the video card is concerned, if hes buying a decent video card thats Express, it will run 350-400 bucks for the newer, amazing shit. Mobo would have to be processor compatible, and nowadays those can run from 60 bucks to 180 bucks depending on the bling factor (DFI LANParty shit, for example). So, right there, if he was to go higher end with both its 600 bucks.

Jack, does that beast have Hyperthreading? If you plan on selling it, I may be interested.

why not keep 2 computers? i love having multiple machines

8

buy asus and AMD.

screw that over-rated hyperthreading shit

Gigabyte makes some mean Mobos. Product loyalty is big, and I love AMD, but HT is a quality component to a decent processor. An AMD64 would be better, but its all about the money situation. I wish we had some decent stores up here for computer components. Down South, they were everywhere. You could get sick deals much better than newegg or mwave or any online site. Argh.

atx case = atx form factor, atx = mobo = atx case… and so on.

:gotme:

Well… I’m only gonna get like 25-30 bux for the monitor… the mouse keyboard are useless to most people. Same applies for the mic, and headset. These are all things I plan on upgrading… and things I don’t need 2 of. So for someone who just wants a killer computer without doing any work… this would be a good option for them.

I’m looking for an LCD, better, multi-function keyboard and probably wireless everywhere. I’m pretty sure I can get a decent deal on a MOBO/CPU combo… and by the time I’m willing to part with this system, I will have the $$ saved up for a decent machine. Right now I don’t have a reason to upgrade… it runs everything I have flawlessly. I was just testing the waters cause I know a couple people that wouldn’t mind having my comp.

lol ur idea and my idea of killer are wayyyyy offf man :stuck_out_tongue:

anyhoo—check newegg u can get a amd64 for a good price and an asus to go with it, talk about a fast cpu…weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, it will pull up ur porn in no time :slight_smile:

13

i like having to wait for pron to load, leaves time for some foreplay…

14

lol

i dunno i just never liked the intel chips, especially since the ams are alot faster at lower speeds. Id save up and get a AMD64 if u want a fast pc.

15

maybe I like foreplay smart guy…

any faster would be redic. I don’t do anything @ home that requires it to be any faster yet. How much will it improve game play?

16

intense gameplay? as in >Solitaire? mucho faster.

17

better than what I got?
intersting. I thought i was limited by the game itself.

BTW - Battlefield II, Call of Duty (soon to be COD 2) and things like that.

18

its not only that, that vid card u have is limiting ur eye candy a hell of alot, throw a gforce 6800GT in there and prepare to be amazed on what you were mssing with the ATI

19

what are the 6800GTs going for these days?

20

about 350 or so, i just spent 700 for the SLI, they may be cheaper but im not sure.
