What would YOU pay for this system? Everything marked at $0 is used... Everything with a price tag is cost for me to put it together
No more than $350USD
I mean... not to stir up my first poster... but the 780 alone is almost worth that... better yet the rest of the computer I'm paying out of pocket...
Find one on eBay for less than $275 :P
$650
edit: including the $184
Under $200.... Some are even up for $150... Sorry a 780 simply isn't worth nearly $300.
Seriously, what would I pay for that system, not including the $184 you spent? $400 max. Even then I'd be kinda meh.

These are Max prices I am assuming people would be willing to pay.
CPU: $150
Cooler: $15
MB: $45
RAM: $35
Storage:
HDD: $25
SSD: $20
GPU: $200
CASE: $40
PSU: $50
So around $500 to $600 assuming parts are in great quality and what you would negotiate with people.
Whole thing, $0. I don't have a use for a system like that lol. I would buy the graphics card for $150 if its not been ran too hard.
Brother!

I'd be interested to see what you guys would RATHER buy new from PCPartpicker for the prices you threw down
The GPU I'm particularly queasy about because I paid $580 for it NEW and haven't pushed or overclocked it ever... it's running in my system as we speak in SLI

The 780's value has dropped like a stone, like all old hardware does. I would sub the Gtx 960 for a used 290/390/780 ti off of ebay.
Low spec and non overclocking cpu, non overclocking mobo, nothing special about ram, dont have to have a case, GPU superceeded by lots of better amd parts for similar money, crap ssd, nothing special about hdd. Honestly (I am in Aus) you would struggle to sell that system at all.
I agree with everyone else. It's worth about 4 to 5 Benjamins. Those parts are just not of high enough quality to fetch what they used to. Especially that SSD.
I just sold the GPU/SSD for $280... so I doubt I'll do the build...
but seriously... I would very much like to see just ONE build for the price you guys wanted to pay that even REMOTELY compares to what was going to to go into this one :P
My old r9 390x cost me only $166... I could create build list to go with it, but I think you already got the idea.
BOB!!! I bid a Dollar
Sorry, had to do it.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hc9gYJ Like I already said, this one is better.
Cpu: The 6500 performs actually about right as well as the 2600s because of IPC improvements and a higher clock speed.
Mobo: About the same range as your board, but newer so support for new technologies like NVMe ssd's and usb 3.1 addin cards.
Ram: same amount.
SSD: Same capacity and not a used drive, better.
HDD: 250gb's more
Graphics card: The 960 actually performs about as good as the 780 in games because the 960 gets driver help whereas the 780 doesn't.
Case: Its a box.
PSU: It does the job
Total cost under $650. There, done. A new system, that you could buy for the same as what people are saying they'd pay for yours, with slightly better performance and the added reliability of new parts over parts that have been in service for years.
Caveman... you are clinically insane if you think any 960 on the market is remotely comparable to an EVGA 780 Classified... the 780 is a generation old... I get it... but it didn't NEARLY fall to the entry level gaming rig...and you KNOW that... you were willing to pay $150 for the GPU which... well... won't even get you the 960...
Vandal... a 2600S will bottleneck a 980ti gaming GPU by <4 FPS.... and if you're in AUS then you're lucky to buy THIS build for 1k last time I quoted AUS pricing
Jason... congrats for buying the cheapest 390X ever sold but your absolutely RIDICULOUS luck doesn't constitute value... 390X goes for about $385-400 and frankly I think that's bullshit or a fucked up GPU
Nvidia gimps older cards by not giving them driver updates to the same extent as newer cards get. Compare the 780 to a 960 in games that use gameworks, or in games that were released after the 900 series rolled around. The drivers for the 780 make the card about comparable. Its not that much of a stretch, and even then people can buy Gtx 780's off ebay for less than $200:

I literally have 2x of the card in my possession dude...
ANYBODY HAVE 960? I WILL SMOKE IT AND GIVE SCREEN SHOTS....
NO AMOUNT of drivers can cover 1GB of DDR5 and well over double the shading units... whats worse is I KNOW you know what you're talking about and you KNOW I do... WTF?
