Framed10

Hi any thoughts on the value of my Asus laptop would be great.

windows 7 Premium 64-bit SP1
Intel iCore 3
CPU M 350@ 2.27ghz
4 GB ram
Intel HD graphics
Brushed aluminum
NVIDIA GeForce 310M
usually get 2.5-3 hours from battery

thanks, F

Honestly if you got 200 for it youd be pushing it.
Still capable as a word processor but a 310M and first gen i3 arent exactly powerful.

I had a first gen i3 with a 315m and got 200 for it about a year ago so id be assuming there worth slightly less now.

Whoever told you that probably chuckled all the way to the bank.2nd slowest CPU and slowest GPU of its generation.

Any more than €100 would be robbery tbh.

Thats a bit harsh I've seen junk with core 2 processors sell on adverts for 100 I sold a core 2 Dell last week for 90. If its in clean condition he would still get 150 for it and it be a good deal. If it was scratched up and stuff about 100 be ok price.

Adverts isn't a good judge for what electronics are worth in fairness, the prices you've listed are hefty for what was sold

Fair enough my bad just thought it was a bit low but at end of the day its what someone is willing to pay. I do understand what you mean about adverts

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably sell it on to family or friends for their kids. Its ideal for a student needing internet and for word proccessing etc.I just wanted a guiding price.
I'm fully aware that in the context of todays processors its basic.
I checked back, it was in 2010 I bought it.
To give it its dues it still working fine, hasn't slowed down at all and has been looked after well.

Am I right in saying the first icore3s came out in 2010?

Q1 of 2010 yeah
http://ark.intel.com/m/products/43529/Intel-Core-i3-350M-Processor-3M-Cache-2_26-GHz#@product/specifications

Would have been slower than almost all other i3s, all i5s, all i7s, any newish Xeons so it wasn't high spec, as ED E said

TerrorFirmer

It would have been very entry level in 2010 even, the G310M even in 2010 was a very low end card, and that model i3 was your average entry level processor. It would have been about average when you bought it in terms of horsepower, and very low end in terms of graphics, unfortunately - though maybe the sales person pitched it a different way.

I Agree, 150 would be in the right ballpark, you could certainly upgrade the
processor to an I7 and the RAM also.

It would be a Gen 1 I7 but a good bit quicker.

All the ram in the world won't bring a slow processor up to speed, and upgrading the processor really inst worth the effort, adding an SSD would make it a good but snappier, its the only worthwhile upgrade

Thinking of selling a system to free up money for upgrades to my main rig so looking for how much this should fetch?

Pentium G3258
ASRock B85 Killer gaming mobo
Evga GTX 760 SC
Corsair CX600
1TB seagate barracuda
120GB Kingston SSD
Corsair Carbide 300R case
CM 212 Evo cooler

Case also comes with a full custom RGB lighting and psu shroud and very good cable management so its aesthetically pleasing.
Id be roughly expecting it to fetch about 500, would that be about right?

Digital Solitude

About €500 would be sound as a full system, it's a fair price for the individual components.

Hey guys - I have an I5-760, Asus P7h55 And 4gb-kit Corsair Ddr3 on adverts for €30 (just those components, nothing else) but one of the comments someone left suggest that this is far too low. What's a fair price?

The cpu alone is worth more then that mate i would of though even tho its old its still worth over 100 one of the others give you a better price.

760 is worth €25-35 anyways, I'd probably have listed for 75 and taken any offer of 50 or above.

OK, cheers guys

Didn't mean to come off as grumpy, sorry greenbean

Second hand, I wouldn't rate the PC as worth €1500 + the water cooling setup, which I've no idea on, but I doubt it makes €3000 reasonable.

I'd personally consider it overpriced but someone with more knowledge of water cooling prices and stuff will be able to verify if I'm right or wrong

Good luck with the sale anyways, tank of a PC

lol you didn't, i have a feeling it might be hard to shift too, but i'll leave it there and will hope for a decent offer. Thanks for the reply

To be honest I think it will very very tough to sell without making a massive loss. The base hardware spec's are only worth around a third of your asking price on the 2nd hand market. I know all the WC gear is really expensive but there is very, very little appetite for watercooling in Ireland, so it adds zero value for 99% of buyers on Adverts or Donedeal. For 3K new you'd be talking about a six core, 32GB ram, X99, GTX1080 SLI setup with a 1440p Monitor.

Buyers barely appreciate high quality items like power supplies, ram and motherboards, let alone high-end watercooling gear. All they see is the raw spec and what it can do in games, so to them your PC and another one for €800 are the same.

Could probably sell all the gear seperately and put a stock cooler on the CPU and put the original cooler back on the 980?

hey man
thank you for giving me your opinion, i would hate to break up the system and part it out tbh. I know it means more to me then then the average gamer but i'd hate to think there are no like minded enthusiasts in ireland who need these custom builds. Granted adverts and donedeal are not the best place to sell a watercooled pc. I'll leave it there for now though and try to find other ways to sell it. I was following your sale on adverts for the last week and i'm glad you sold it. I don't know what it is with me but i thought you let it go very cheaply. I'll keep an eye on your adverts from now on, you have some really col stuff.

Looking to sell my rig to buy a laptop instead. How much could I expect to fetch for this rig?

EVGA GTX 660 OC
Corsair AX1200i ATX
Alpenföhn Brocken CPU Cooler
TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OC'd to 4.2GHz
Asus Z87-K Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Standard disk drive.
1TB HDD
21" ASUS monitor. Unsure of model type but will find out.

I was thinking E750 considering they are in great shape. Is that too much or what?

Digital Solitude

Individually I'd say its worth about €600 roughly, so €750 is steep IMO but given some of the ****e you see on adverts its okay, at the very least its a capable PC. I'd list it at €700-750 and take any offers over €650 or €675. €700 if you think you'll get it

I was hoping to sell it in one go, could I get it for that price all in one?

What was you price for each component if sold individually?
