Value of a computer

[LA_MERC_Drax]

Guys, I am trying to sell my desktop and build a new rig, and I am wondering how much my old rig is worth.

Specs are :

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
XFX HD-487A-ZWFC Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4
(yes, both types of ram, so 4GB of ram total)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor BX80557E6600
Other parts as well, but those are the signifigant pieces I guess
DVD drive and burner, 300GB 7200 rpm hard drive, X-FI sound blaster card, Antec case, Power supply.

I was thinking around 400 or so would be a good price?

Why would you even sell it? A couple of hundred could keep you going strong for a year+

Go to Newegg and build that same pc then take 35-45% off of that.

Upgrade Proc and video if you want and keep going.

How far can I go up on a processor with a socket 775? I was thinking if I had to change the chip and mobo, just to go ahead and build a new rig. Plus I have a friend that wants to buy this one from me, and I'd like a quieter case with larger fans!

If you have someone wanting it, then go ahead and sell it.

Yea, its a friend, so I was just trying to give him an honest cost on it.

FYI the best processor available for the 775 is this one,

But for few bucks less, this one is almost identical, just as a slower clock speed

Either way, these processor are at the top of the pile for the last of the 775's made.

Well if that is the case. I usually go with 50% of new unless it was really not used. The problem is that I do not want anyone getting the idea that there is any implied value or warranty.
