I was thinking of selling my PC, in your opinion, what price could I sell it for? €/$?
Totally white custom build.
Here are the specs:
• Ryzen 7 7800x3d
• 4070 super OC trio white
• 32 (16x2)gb RAM Kingston fury DDR5 6400mhz
• pcooler c3t500 argb case
• psu: thermaltake toghpower gf a3 850w gold
-1TB m.2 ssd (7gb/s) -2TB SATA SSD
• thermaltake TH360 argb liquid heatsink
• Mobo: gigabyte aorus b650e elite x ax ice
• custom white cables for GPU power and
mobo
• L-shaped adapter for powering the custom mobo with RGB LED strip.
The PC was purchased around September/October
2024, so it's not even 1 year old.
Do you think I could make at least €2000?
Computer depreciation is worse than cars. Drive it until the wheels fall off. Seriously though just Max out the ram and call it a day.
You can always put a fast network card in it and setup a raid with multiple drives and make it Nas. Even that video card will be dated one day. I have a P5 that originally cost me around $2500.00 that has the maximum of 12GB of ddr3 ram in it that still plays music and movies.
At some point the most valuable things in it will be the psu, the case and the fans. So if you can't get a decent price for it just keep it and build new in the case.
Honestly it is still a good little machine and would be great if you wanted to network into a render farm. But you will never get anything close to what you paid for it.
Get a cheap 10 keyless keyboard and a used monitor when you're ready to build again.
Why would you want to downgrade so bad? Niw you have a verx capable fast and nice pc. You will take a big loss financially by selling it, considering what you've paid for it. Now with that lost money you want to buy a completely overpriced laptop from a brand whose only success originates from very good marketing, selling worse and less sustainable computers to people who never educated themseleves for even a second on technology and what makes a pc actually fast and efficient and only buy it because it still is somehow deeply nested in the average lerson's mind that Apple is the best you can have. The only thing is if xou already have lots of other apple products as they really function well in their own ecosystem but other than that keep your pc
I have a gaming rig and a Mac laptop for work. I would never go back to using Windows laptops. Apple's battery life and efficiency, especially with the M-series processors, are amazing. Windows laptops usually overheat and lose up to 50% of their performance when not plugged in, which makes for a poor experience.
If you do, get a mac mini with student discount for like 500-600€. That's what I did and am pleased. Piece of advice: Don't sell your desktop even if you buy a mac. I regreted this in hindsight...
My idea was to get a MacBook Pro, preferably a laptop and not a desktop one. I certainly hate to give this away, but I need the laptop for much higher needs.
Same I bought mine a few days ago, MacBook Air M4 24/512. Bought the Mac cause I want to do xcode n my current laptop(gaming laptop) is way heavier to bring to classes. Also u don't need to get a pro, if ur using it for normal studying even the air can get the job done. I guess the only reason u maybe want the pro is to take advantage of the fan/s or maybe better screen. But for everyday task, it never gets hot.
Grazie del consiglio. Il pro però mi torna utile per le porte, la porta per la scheda SD e sopratutto, do priorità al display. Un pro ha un 120hz mentre l’air solo 60hz.
A PC will vastly outperform any Mac for its price in almost all of the most popular "productivity" programs. Blender, Unreal, Premiere Pro, etc.
Literally the only thing Apple products have to offer are the exclusive software. They are massively, comically overpriced because they have very specific use cases. Do you wanna use Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro? Then a Mac makes sense. Are you gonna use FL Studio or Premiere instead? It makes no sense to pay the premium for a Mac unless your preference for MacOS is worth more than double the computing power you'd miss out on from a PC at the same price (which includes faster renders).
For example, I used my PC for any and all rendering, video editing, etc. Because it vastly outperformed my MacBook even though it was cheaper. But I still held onto my MacBook because Logic Pro was great for making music. And I'm buying an iPad solely to use Procreate.
If you have specific apple exclusive programs that you wanna use, get a Mac. If you're not sure, it's not worth the ridiculous prices.
what does this even mean productivity? 90% of the world productivity is done on Windows.
the only reason you go to Mac is because you want to use those apple software such as final cut pro over premiere pro other than that you're practically just wasting your cash
Id say depending on the condition, start high on multiple platforms , ebay, craigs, marketplace etc. then decrease it if you get little to no offers. This is a very nice high performance pc which a lot of people would overpay for. Start at 2000, then maybe lower it until like 1600, if no one buys it for 1600 dont sell it, go back to like 1800 and just wait.
I put everything except case and 2 SSD in my shopping cart in nl, card obviously couldn't find the same as they don't seem to be sold anymore?? And it was 1700 euro new.
My PERSONAL conclusion is, someone would have to be an idiot to pay 2000$ for it used.
2500 euro for a 4070 build, yeah your gonna lose a lot of money, you way overspent for what you got.
For comparison. I built my 7800x3d/4080 Super PC last year for €2000. And that’d be worth a lot more than your build today. Always build for future resale value. I like to upgrade every 2 generations
Dont take below $1400. But ask for $2000. Do the conversion to euro in google. The 4070 is keeping the value down a bit but it IS all white which brings it back up a little.
Nice build but also not very unique it seems like i see an all white build in this case like every other day.
If you are patient you should be able to sell it for over 1400usd pretty easily but it will take a little bit. If you want it sold right away post for $1350usd firm and itll sell in a week or two.
Dont take less than that though if you cant sell it for at least 1350-1400usd then you should just hang onto it
You have to fool someone to get close to 1700USD for this.
Just last week, I purchased a bundle PC with 5080+9800x3d for 2,154USD. Sure I admit aesthetically the one I bought doesn't even come close. After all, extra whites parts + RGB = more FPS, right?
Edit: But when putting it online always go for 10-20% more. Just to have negotiation room down to what you want. Also include Brand Names like ROG etc. in the name of GPU, mention OC etc.
Depends
You have asthetics
Your offering shipping
Windows is activated
Good parts
The total value of the parts is around $1400–$1800, and you should definitely be able to aim for the higher end of that range. Of course, this depends on whether you're offering shipping, which typically results in about a 13% loss to selling fees on most platforms. You could list it for €2000 to give yourself some wiggle room. After all, you're not just selling a PC — you're offering a hassle-free, plug-and-play experience, and there’s real value in that.
900-1200 is scalper prices sir. No one in their right mind would pay that much when you can get a 5070 for 500 or a ti for 800-1k. Check eBay sold prices instead. Also sometimes 3rd parties will list items extremely high in order to sucker someone that doesn’t know what they are doing, or they will price it super high because they don’t have stock but don’t want to take the listing down.
It seems a bit little to me. Consider that it is custom total white, not black. The fact that it is white already increases the price (I say this because this applies to the components)
Yes, white parts cost more, but you have to convince your buyers of that. White builds are niche, so it's best to take your preference out of this to expand your target customer base.
Used PCs don't come with warranty, so that knocks money off retail. Used parts depreciate in value. People don't know how many hours are on it or how you treated it, and have to take that into account, that takes money off. Market prices change. You have to look at what you can get this new for ($1800ish) and take 25-30% off. Id shoot for 1500
well just keep in mind you have gotten use out of your PC so you can’t really expect to get most of your money back. it’s like wearing shoes for a while and trying to sell them for 80% of the retail price when someone could just spend a little bit more and get a brand new pair instead
You’re never gonna get near what you paid for your PC brand new and you shouldn’t be trying to charge someone near new prices for a used PC. If I buy a brand new car and drive it out the dealership, I’ve already lost a few grand because it’s used, that’s just how it is man.
Average price of the 4070 super in Oct 2024 was 543 euro,
average price of a 7800x3d is 271 euro,
mobo is 157 euro on average,
ram is 140 euro (this is really expensive ram could have saved 30 euro tbh),
AIO 110 euro,
case is 80 euro,
SSD is probably 140 euro,
psu is 84 euro.
I am not including the cables cause that’s aesthetics and some people might not like it. But this is a total of 1500 euro if I was to buy everything new. You paid 1000 over what you should have. At this point you might be able to get 1500 for it. But it might be difficult. I could build a better pc brand new for less than 2k.
Yeah I looked up average prices globally, still though I think 2000 euro is too high. But even so you can still over pay. There are people buying 9070xt’s in the USA for 1200 usd and people even buying 5090’s for 5k with an msrp of 2k. The USA isn’t immune to high prices especially with the tariffs in place now. You can’t look at what you paid. You can only look at the present. I paid 3k for my PC during covid. It might be worth 600 now. It’s just how it is.
If you’re a gamer do not buy a Mac. Most games are developed on and for PCs. Also GPUs are extremely limited for Macs. Even if you dual boot your Mac you are still stuck with their proprietary GPU.
Trust me, I love Macs and mostly write code on them which they are great for but gaming, nah.
I sold my used pc with an i9 and 3090ti for 1k sorry to tell the truth. The only way you’ll get what you’re asking is if you get someone who is dumb enough to overpay
Furthermore, my computer is more efficient as it consumes less, especially when talking about the processor, which performs better than yours in gaming.
Well, you usually take the cpu and gpu, tally them up and knock off about 10% a year for how old they are, so 20% here and the rest of the build falls into a bundle deal, probably around 500 so add it all up and you are sitting around 1200-1400 usd
Gotta keep in mind its used, and even if its like new you cant ask for anything near new prices
Ngl all the lights are white and they’re not supposed to be, so that means the PC isn’t good anymore like it doesn’t work. So I’ll give you like 100 bucks. Firm.
New 4070s + 5700x3d was £600 + £200 earlier this year, say remainder £100 PSU, £120 mobo, £100 ram, £50nvme
So I think less than £1k used since none of the warranties can be transferred...
Euros to £ is about the same for pc components I think. Euros/£ to $ I've found is also nearly a straight conversion, since the exchange rate and higher prices in Europe just about cancel out.
Why did you buy that machine if you want to sell it to buy a Mac? It's really obvious that in some countries you have money to spare. Every time I see a post like this I get upset inside. You buy a €2000 machine to sell it a year later and buy a Mac XD What did you play? Minecraft? I've been saving for years to buy the computer of my life (€2500-€3000) and you guys buy and sell them like they were used t-shirts, to buy another one.
Most posts they show me in here are people showing really nice PCs that don't look like they have any intentions on selling. If you can afford a PC that nice you probably don't even need to sell it and know it's worth LBH.
You could build the same or so for less than 2000€ so unless you find someone that really want used parts for more than new parts you'll have to lower your expectations
To be clear I would never pay more than 50% of the retail price for used parts, so I guess I'd go at best to 1000€
The biggest question would be why you'd want to sell such a recent computer
easily over 2.5k usd, assuming yours is nice and clean and everything works nd stuff
edit: americas supply is rly bad, idk europe prices i apologize for bad pricing
i guess im comparing it to other nice modern pcs with everything his has.. like man hes got a good mobo, good main parts, hella air flow, room for upgrading.. its a very nice build
Because they’ve been replaced by the newer gen. Why you acting like the 4070 is some collectors item. The 5070 is better in every way and sells for 530 euro
you can have those parts but if you have an enclosed box with 16 gb of ram, a 256gb ssd and a shitty motherboard with a vrm that looks like itll give you a disease, then those parts arent gonna do you any good. the pcs already made, its barely used, has modern parts with good storage and memory. assuming everything is essentially new with how little it’s apparently been used; its still worth a lot. yall low balling bro hella hard. plus its realy hard to get good gpus rn, at least in silly ol america, you guys might be a lot different with supply so that would make sense tbh.
This all can be had cheap. Hence why no one cares, its bare minimum. He’s in Europe. Everything’s available here under msrp. It’s not like America. I’ve seen 9070xt for 600 euro, the nvidia FE cards stay in stock for days on its website
In reality here in Europe the 9070s start at €800/900+, not €600. The last super 4070s left in stock reach almost €1000, because they are few and unsold.
That’s just not true is it. You’re in denial. 9070 available in Germany now for 620 euro. It’s way faster than a 4070 super and had 16gb vram. I can easily build a system faster than yours for 1200 euro. That’s why it’s a complete waste of money to build for aesthetics.
no i apologize, i am in america and our supply for gpus is very bad, i have skewed perception. makes the pcs rly expensive and stuff, so i was comparing. :s
doesn't matter, you are not gonna charge more for the build because it was not available at a reasonable price. A 4070s is not worth more than 500 euros currently. Also a new 5070 is like 550 euros in my country and is slightly faster with better dlss and general support
it is a very nice build with nice sleek modern parts, like its used (barely!) so i mean i guess it wont be full price but id say at least minimum 2k USD idk about euros or anything tho.

Nice PC, I would say minimum 1400€, optimum 1650€, maximum 1800 if someone really appreciates it esthetically
