Asked By TechWizard99 On

I'm looking to sell my PC parts to a friend who's trying to build her own gaming rig. I'm considering a price between $400 and $450. Here's what I have:

- **CPU**: I7-9700
- **Cooler**: Deepcool Gammaxx GT A-RGB
- **Motherboard**: Asrock B365 Phantom Gaming 4
- **GPU**: GTX 1660 Super
- **RAM**: 4x8GB 3200MHz (2 T-Force and 2 G.Skill)
- **PSU**: EVGA 500W Bronze Certified

She'll need to buy a case and storage drive separately. Based on the feedback I've received, I'm now thinking about selling it for $250 instead. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Selling a 7-year-old setup for that much can feel like you're friend pricing, but it's kind of sweet you're looking out for her! It's cool you came to get input on this.

Haha, must not be that great of friends if you're considering that price! Definitely good to check around.

Depends on the friendship! If she's a great friend, I'd say $250 is fair. When you consider adding a case and SSD, the total might exceed what anyone would want to pay for that setup.

Yeah, she is a great friend! After considering everything, I've really realized that lowering the price makes sense. Thanks for the feedback!

Honestly, $400 seems a bit steep since the hardware is getting older and you're missing storage and a case. It's good to reassess based on what others are saying!

Totally agree! Plus, with how prices can fluctuate, you want to be fair to your friend.

I think $300 to $350 is a more reasonable price considering the parts' age and the fact she needs to buy storage and a case. It's important to keep it friendly!

Yeah, that sounds way more reasonable. Definitely a better price point.
