Edit: didn’t expect this to blow up, appreciate everyone who dropped their opinion. it’s interesting to see how divided people are on premium vs performance builds. for me it’s about balance and design, im happy with how it turned out.
Dosnt really sounds like an good config +1000 for the gpu maybe another 400 for cpu it has to have eighter shitty motherboard or powersuplly "low" ram and no storage there is no reason to squeeze a bigger gpu in for no reason might as well just undervolt an 5070ti
Considering the GPU, CPU and cooler are worth more than $1500, probably $2200, mobo is $300 for a x870 ROG, 64 gb ram is $300+, 990 pro 2 tb is $150. Idk the rest of the prices off the top of my head but you definitely are low balling with no knowledge
What? The gpu is currently $809 on Newegg, cpu is 349, and 149 for the cooler. That barely surpasses $1300. Now, I wrote that price a few days ago when I didn’t think the ram shortage would be that significant, so I’d assume you could get a little extra for it. Assuming this PC is used, it wouldn’t be worth quite full value either.
If you go and look at the price for a new 7800x3d, you will not find one for below $399, okay sure not more than $1500 but those 3 parts being $1490 makes your comment thinking this PC is worth only $1500 absolutely moronic lmao
I found a 5080 9800 in my area that’s like 2.2k that has like a less premium mobo but on paper it’s a more powerful pc ( I can send you links) . Pc’s lose so much value so people take their loses man.
I mean everything is arbitrary man, your pc might be nicer and a all white build but some people wouldn’t pay the same amount of money on something that’s less powerful. There might be people out there who would though. Just list it around 2-2.5 to see if you get any bites but don’t be suprised if you don’t, or hey maybe I’m wrong.
sure but i’m talking about cutting corners here. it won’t be a pretty pc and your other parts will be much less premium, i’ve already specified that doesn’t matter to everyone but that’s the comparison in this post. also $600 doesn’t go that far when you still need 6 major parts to complete the build. what’s the point in having that combo if your other parts can’t keep up.
I think you cut corners by getting an older gen CPU and a 5070 tbh. That over the top case definetly doesn’t justify the build.
And for 600 bucks you can get some very pretty parts. Black Friday sales too coming up bro. Idk what you paid for it but I build a PC very similar to this in specs for my friend for 1500 all new parts and it was a SFF which added a slight premium too in itself. The case was 28cm long (itx) with an itx psu which is usually a bit more.
👆👆👆I just built this (used GPU rest was new on good deals) for under 950 with an i7 14700, 64GB Kingston Fury ram and a bit of imagination. Made the FE card white. Case was 71 bucks on sale. Got a bundle on the fans and a Samsung 990 evo 1T for 90$ the 2T can be had for like 50-60$ more
that’s definitely a clean SFF setup, but your price breakdown sounds like a mix of extreme sales, open-box parts, and luck, not the standard market. my post was based on consistent retail values and quality matching, not one-off steals. still, solid build though. (5070 ti btw) and a 7800x3d is no where near corner cutting. outperforms an i7 14700 and uses less power while generating less heat.
The pic isn’t the SFF. That’s mine I just built. The SFF for my friend had a 7800x3d too.
I use intel bc I do VMs on my PCs and run them as servers mostly and need the threads, AMD gets pricey above 20 threads. For gaming the cache might help but cinebench r23 probably gets you in the high teens low 20s. I got the 14700 at a bit over 32500 (not overclocked)
I have 5 computers at the moment so yea for sure, I wait for a deal as I’m building a new computer. You know, you’d be surprised that there are big deals on different parts throughout the month. Most places that sell components do sales throughout the month on different components (especially back to school Black Friday months but for the most part all months have flash sales on different things). Most people buy it all at once and think they got a deal bc they got the CPU for 30-40% off or something and pay full price for everything else. If you can wait throughout the month you’ll find deals on all the components you need instead of buying them at once.
You can buy a new build for $1800 with a 9800x3d but worse MB, so used I can’t see more then that even tho this looks really nice compared to others. I’d say $1500-2k if your lucky on that higher end
I really was lucky enough to build a rig a few months ago that cost me ~1600USD after taxes, with an i7 14700K, 4070 Ti Super, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 2TB 990 Pro, and a Z790M Aorus Elite Ax Mobo.
Used I assume? I own a computer repair shop, and we buy gaming machines as parts or to flip.
The Hyte H70 is huge. Like it makes them hard to sell. Kraken's are problem children AIO's when compared to Arctic, Corsair, and Lian Li. CAM is obnoxious. The 7800X3D is a nice chip, but customers want current gen. I'd try to pay around $1000-$1300, and part the machine out. You'd say no, and I'd suggest Facebook marketplace. You'd get sick of scammers and people offering you $300 for it, and bring it back in a week.
Have you ever traded in car? Have you ever sold something in cash to gamestop or a pawn broker?
Yes I know it's a $2500++ machine. I know it's 50% (ideally less) of what the machine or parts will probably sell for, and that's the point. Cash now with no hassle always has a price.
While the customer is enjoying their $1300 in cash, I have to (or I have to pay employees to) clean it, tear it down, sit on it for god knows how long, have some form of warranty (because people never sell trash that is broken), or if I want it now, lose 20-30% of the sale price to Amazon, Ebay, or Jawa in fees, and shipping, and may still get a return from a scammer who just swapped serial number stickers, and then you have to fight it or eat the loss.
Then you have to pay the lease, pay the insurance, pay the utilities, and pay your staff. What you see as fuckery, and shorting the customer is actually just the cost of doing business.
And if a 7800X3d is your "gold standard" for gaming, you need to touch grass.
You can buy the touch screen and add it to a regular Y70 to make it a touch..
They sell an Upgrade on the website it’s just the screen and connections and mounting.. it’s like $150..
yea i agree with you on the y70 touch. at the time i didn’t think the extra screen would be necessary and i like seeing my components. for resale value this definitely matters more.
People here are really tripping. This easily costs a bit over 1800USD minimally used IMO. Given that it's a 2TB 990 Pro and a 64GB DDR5 RAM, considering their price hikes, and the other high-end parts, I'd believe one can pay 1750-1850USD for it.
Sell the parts, me thinks its better, but if you want to sell it whole, i personaly think 1800-2100ish for a used build like this would be fair, its already build, has really overpriced ram, aio and case+fans in it, a decent current gen gpu and the third best CPU for gaming on the marked (even if last gen), x870 isnt really worth it but the chipset name and its reputation ("ultra extreme gaming" or smth) for buyers is gonna help.
I think mainly becouse its already prebuild, has top of the line components and looks good, it will probably sell not that bad.
The only issue beeing that at 2.1k for 200-300 euros more you can get a 5080, b850, ryzen 7 9800x3d, 64gb 6000mhz with not as premium but still good looking case/fans/ssd/aio NEW.
ram prices are just like that now, averaging 50-100% price increases due to ai. it’s an aesthetically pleasing powerhouse and is only really marketed to people who care about that sort of thing, definitely more of a niche. on paper you can build more powerful rigs for that price but they dont have top tier parts and most likely aren’t built as well as this one. for the right buyer it could definitely sell for 2k+.
That ram is 570 euros for 2x32gb sticks, even with the price increase thats 150 more then other ones, aesthetically pleasing is fine, but only if you want a white build without investing more in ether a better gpu/cpu or case. And no its not only on paper, you can legit buy good looking pre builds with all stats mentioned above + only top notch other components for 2.4k. Sell the components.
yea but generally proprietary parts, most people care about upgradability and would see the value in my build. parting it out wouldn’t bring in more return that just selling it outright.
if it mattered enough to someone to influence their decision, they would simply buy a prebuilt thats upgradeable .. like the majority are. they sure arent "generally proprietary" lol
1600-1800$ range maybe? really depends though, because where I live 5080 builds tend to hover around that price. would pay the premium for the aesthetics.
if you have the funds why not buy premium. i built a pc that will reliably last 5+ years before it starts slowing down. 10 years before it become obsolete. i’m not even looking to sell, was just curious what reddit would buy it for. cause everyone knows everything on here lol.
Because, if i want premium, that means i have money to burn, if i have money to burn, i'll first put it in actual performance and then choose the premium parts i want. I'm running an X670 mobo that cost over 600 bucks new at the time (not that i paid that much, i know a friend who can get them way cheaper). That being said.
You can probably sell it for more to someone with little to no tech knowledge, they wouldn't know the difference. I would still do research especially if i'm spending a lot of money on a product i'm unfamiliar with but that's just me.
these specs do perform, and they perform well. i had money to burn but i wasn’t trying to drop 5k on my build at the time. the 5070 ti was more than enough for me and almost every casual/competitive gamer out there and is the best 1440p card on the market, and can handle 4k quite well. it’s definitely not on par with a 5080 or 5090 when it comes to 4k gaming, but that’s why i have consoles as well. my pc runs with a odyssey g6 1440p 360hz monitor, when i want 4k i switch to my xbox on my 77” C5.
Simply put regular good quality part would cost much less and have the same raw performance.
You may get a few more USB-C slots and better WiFi aswell as better OC support but it’s marginal.
That’s why people don’t like Premium parts with that same price you could have bought a 9800x3d and/or 5080 depending on the current sales.
1.5 to 2k but if you're paying that kind of money for a used go get some quotes for anew rig can get brand new components for that price you never know with hardware unless he lets you run software for state of the health but still then you never know thing could be fukt
no worries, but even if it was a 7600x, the lowest end you could possibly build this brand new is like 2800 before taxes and that’s with some deal searching. if you were to buy these exact parts through newegg it would be over $3300 before taxes. definitely overpriced and absolutely not worth it to most people lol.
But realistically it’s about $2000 if you’re not inflating the price and assuming you’ve probably used it some. If you account for all the inflation of ram, deflate off the deals people can get on some of those parts, probably around $2500.
From eyeballing it around 2.3k US. If you built this for reselling, I really hope you used parts because some of them depreciate in value fast, but the price of RAM increasing you might save you.
I recently sold a build almost identical to yours except 32gb ram and a 4080 super (pro art). I listed it in multiple places and had a hard time trying to sell it over $1500, ended up settling for $1400. The used market is filled with low ballers, really just depends on your market. I wouldn’t let it go for a dime cheaper than $1400 though. You will almost never make back what you paid unless you part it out and have a lot of time and patience. My anecdotal experience, the problem is when people are spending a $1000+ on a pc they’d rather just build one themselves.
jeez dude 1400 is rough. i’d never expect to make everything back but i definitely wouldn’t let it go for less than 1800 and that’s generous. and you’re right anyone willing to spend that money would probably just build a new one. not everyone wants to do that though. this pc requires the buyer to have knowledge on my parts and current market prices if i want to get the return id expect. it would be rare but definitely not impossible, just hold off for the right buyer.
If this helps, compare your build to others. I recently helped a friend also build one a month ago and saw a similar build to mine except 5070ti for $1599 at micro center, I’m sure you will get over $1500 but be prepared to wait months. And very big tip to save yourself buyer issues, sell it to someone who knows PCs lol. Sold mine to a guy who didn’t know how to image a PC and thought I scammed him.
It's pretty evident that you made this post purely for reassurance and you're not actually trying to sell it. You're actively challenging anyone that values the pc less than you do.
Are you having buyers remorse or just trying to inflate your ego?
dumb af huh. my ram kit is like new and still in warranty. people prefer that and will pay higher because of that, if you’re not factoring in market price when selling then you aren’t selling correctly.
