Selling My Rig
Posts: 1944 | Subs: 2
Don't feel like taking my desktop with me to my dorm in two months here are the specs:
-i5 4430
-HD6850 1GB
-Gskill Ripjaws 8gb ram
-EVGA 750w
-1TB Seagate HDD
-ASUS Z87 LGA 1150 mobo
-Rosewill Galaxy 2 case
-Webcam, keyboard, mouse, windows 8 disc set, Turtle Beach X12 headphones*
*I assume most people already have the peripherals, but just in case
I spent somewhere between $800 and $900 on all this shit almost a year ago. It runs some games smoothly maxed out, most games run smoothly with medium-highish settings. CoH2 runs kinda meh, blame shitty optimization. At one point it was running very smoothly on medium settings but it seems like they actually de-optimized the game in the last 6 months. Anyway with 8gb ram a 750w PSU and my CPU, the only thing holding this back from being a high end machine is just a graphics card upgrade.
I'm still debating whether or not I'm going to trash my hard drive. For now I want $600 but if I decide to keep my HDD I will deduct for that. PM or respond here if interested.

you can bring your PC to dorm, a few guys i know, does it. Thou it is practical to have a laptop instead. ( you can study in bed ^^)
I know you can but I don't want to, I'm a closet PC gamer and that sounds really lame. Plus I want a laptop instead.

Because its worth money I could use for other things and I'm not going to be using it?

How much extra for overseas shipping?
(serious question)
I guess I will ship overseas if you want to pay for it. Would cost like half of what I am asking, would not be a good deal for you.
How much without the Graphics Card?
Same price. My investment was 800 not including the HD6850 which was given to me for free. That graphics card is several years old and not worth much today, it was basically a free included item since I didn't even buy it.

If you end up sending the hard drive with the computer you should get some kind of application to deep format it or zero the drive. Dunno what all you have on it but I'm sure there's some information there that you don't want people to have access to. A simple reformatting won't really protect you. Good luck selling it and good luck in college. Personally I would keep the desktop at least at home cuz laptops run games like shit unless you spent stupid amounts of money on them.
Thanks for the advice I don't know much about that stuff. I'm debating retaining PC gaming mainly for Arma and similar sim games, otherwise I mostly play console stuff these days like Halo and sports titles. Rts is dead to me these days.
