Now before you report me for a WTS thread, this isnt a sale, its an enquiry and frankly I cant think of anywhere else to post, and cant be arsed to signup to some random PC forum.
I cant decide if I want to keep my desktop PC or not now. Its back home in the UK, so forgive the slightly limited specs as its not infront of me, and the fact that I havent looked at PC specs in quite a while;
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8ghz (I think)
BFG 8800GT 512mb (DDR2) OC
4gb Kingston DDR2 (800 and something hz)
Seagate Barracuda 250GB HD 7200rpm
Cant remember what the Mobo is, Asus something, has blue ports, if that narrows it down! Was about £120 bought new 2 years ago.
No monitor as I use my HD TV instead.
Any idea what the prices are for these kind of spec these days? I feel its a pretty respectable machine, and cant remember any game that punished it at max settings.
An educated guess would be around the £200 mark? Or have second-hand prices plummeted these days? If memory serves, I will probably get more if I sell the parts separately.
I need to get rid of it either way. Im moving around alot these days as Ive left Uni and have a job (woot) so will be going overseas fairly frequently, and simply dont need a desktop PC anymore. And I have my PS3.
Just bought a Macbook Pro 15 anyway, and before you roll around pointing and laughing, its all I need to play games on the move with Windows 7 and get into photo editing etc with my new DSLR camera, so its justified. Not a kid anymore, so gaming isnt as important these days...*cry*
This just adds to my reasoning for not needing my desktop these days, its sat at home feeling all neglected.
I go home in a few months, and have alot of installing of new software etc to do on my Mac as its sat in its box still, and my PS3 will fill the gaps of boredom while the Mac sits on the bed installing.
Need to make a decision. Sell it?
