I don't see your price?

I think asking for a price on a tech forum probably isn't going to yield you what you want to hear. People that are going to be qualified (or feel they are) will post numbers way lower than what those parts retail for. Simply because we know what they are worth retail, and we like the satisfaction of building ourselves.

It may well be worth $1000, but, I wouldn't buy that for any more than say... $300. I built, on a super budget, a system for my GF (in Feb 2011) that was half the ram, slightly less processor, and no monitor for $310. Sure the vid card bumps that up a bit, but again, its used parts...

So I think what I'm trying to say is, this is a tough crowd. You won't hear the price you want to hear from us. I know you include a decent card and a monitor, so maybe bump up my offer a bit, but not much. Most of us here recycle monitors on our upgrades.

Edit - Also, the included software/games don't mean much. It may mean a lot to the ebay crowd, but I'd just assume all of that is pirated - so I assign $0 value to it.

Maybe six hundred max for the parts.
Now the software. That's going to depend on how much people care about those.
I'd have to agree that they are all worth zero.
As for the OS, if it is actually a legitimate retail edition, you should provide a CD key with it. I'd ship it formatted with a fresh install.

I've built similar systems for some of my clients, if using what I built for them as a premise to judge the price for your system, I would have to say somewhere in the ball park of $500.00 "top's"!

The day's of the "air of mystery" are almost gone for computers, also gone are the days that only a select group of people built computers and kept a lot of that information private & secret, therefore driving and keeping assembly prices high. Now a day's a kid, with a cheap computer and Internet connection, to use as a reference and a Fry's Electronics's around the corner can build systems, therefore driving the once "high" price for what was once a luxury item down to a level where "everyone can afford them"!

$500.00 "top's"!

Also shipping a computer with all those games and such, I wouldn't do it, I ship all my built for client systems with a fresh hard drive format, a fresh O.S. install and maybe a office program of their choice, that's it!

Since adobe photoshop cs5 is on sale at Amazon for $670 it is very hard for me to understand how you did that for $1,000.
Personally i think he is jerking our chain or selling pirated software.

 

[LNCPapa]

Yeah - $500 for the hardware - and I'd remove that software if I were you. Photoshop is obviously pirated... and there are keys tied to both Rift and WoW that make these useless if you've ever used those keys for your account. Software probably gets you $0 in my book too... I'd be wary buying a computer from someone and assuming the software was legit on it. Even the OS would worry me and the first thing I'd do is format.

All I see when I read through this is:
Decent keyboard, video card, psu and case. The rest is quickly forgotten.

 

[HiDDeNMisT]

I agree with LNCPapa on this one. I would not but the whole system for no more $500. I aslo agree that the software is also not a sellable option at this point. If anything backup the HDD and Zero the drive, not just format it.

Zero it completely.

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

I don't quite agree, he has a decent monitor and CPU cooler too.
Even though I don't like them, his mouse is not cheap either.
Those at least, are not really outdated, just used.

For someone who is simply looking for a computer to play games, doesn't have a lot of cash, and isn't planning on upgrading for a while, I think $600 is a reasonable price for all of this, assuming the windows 7 is a legitimate retail edition.

 

[HiDDeNMisT]

That I understand but if the windows is not legitamate then I woyld say sell for thr 500
