I've recently upgraded my PC and have a good amount of old components left over. Upgraded from a 600W PSU to an 850W, switched out my 5800X3D for a 9950X, replaced the 6600 XT with a 9060 XT, moved to an AM5 motherboard from AM4, and upgraded from DDR4 to DDR5. My old parts are in excellent condition because I've always been really attentive to my gear—let's just say I've got a passion for hardware!
Though I'm hoping to sell them, my main concern is making sure they don't go to waste. Neither of my brothers takes care of their hardware well enough for me to feel comfortable giving it to them. I'm looking for the best options to either sell or donate these components while ensuring they'll be appreciated. Any ideas? Thanks!

For selling, eBay can also be a good platform. Just remember to account for shipping costs. But if you're more focused on philanthropy, you'll win some karma points by donating to local non-profits that help with tech access.
You could try local marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist to sell your parts. Just make sure to take good photos and be honest about their condition. If you're leaning more towards donating, check if your local schools or community centers have a tech club; they might really appreciate the donation! Certain charities also accept computer parts to help underprivileged individuals. Good luck!
Honestly, if you're just looking to get rid of them, donating to a high school’s gaming club is a solid idea. They often have kids who'd be super grateful for the upgrade. You could also consider local tech groups or forums—there are always people looking for parts!
If you want to ensure they'll be well taken care of, you could even reach out to local gamers on Reddit or Facebook groups in your area; they might be interested in what you’re offering and will likely treat them right!
