If you just want to confirm what components you have try this.

May be hard to sell as a whole, since most gamers tend to build their own PCs with their own components.
Any other casual PC user will go to Dell and get a cheap sub £300 machine for their needs!

When I build my gaming monster a year or so ago, I made sure I kept all the component boxes. I ha dthe PC for about 8 montsh or so and was bored of it. Took everything apart and back into original boxes, and stuck the lot on eBay. Pretty much got what I paid for the PC in the first place!!

Im guessing you dont have boxes or anything though, or dont want the hassle of taking apart and selling seperate?

Personally I would sell the monitors and the peripherals seperate. Then sell the base unit alone.

Off the top of my head, without looking at any component prices, I'd say you may get around £500-550 for the lot (on a good sale) if the monitors and peripherals are sold seperate to the base unit.

Selling second hand PC's is always a pain due to the speed at which manufacturers bring out better machines.

My gaming monster from 3 years ago is probably only the equivalent of a mid-level standard PC today. As such most people would just go buy a cheap Dell. They have some amazing offers and unless you want cutting edge, they make a lot of sense.

I am looking for a new gaming machine, but have to wait a couple of months til I have more money. I'd never pay more than £150 for a second hand machine (without monitors) no matter what the spec is (I'm tight). I'm sure you'd tell me to F-off at that price, so I would suggest you break it down and sell for parts as mentioned by IFTI
