kk cheers for that, i was reading some of your other posts and you sell parts of your last computer to afford your new one do you not?

If this is correct do you think id be able to sell some of my old parts?

Any idea for how much and were you should sell it?

@lecsiy
Best place to sell is normally eBay unless you know someone who's looking for a part.
Your GPU if I'm correct sells new for about £80, so you could make anywhere between £40-£60, but it all depends on whether you have the box etc... And how good you are at bullsh*tting in adverts.
I tend to exceed in that department, and it's not unknown to sell things on for more than what I paid for them, but there's no guarantee, as sometimes things don't sell at all.
Your mobo is selling for between £28 and £48 on some sites, so that is likely to go for another £20.
The CPU, well a 2800+ socket A Sempron is selling for £50 online so maybe you'd get £40 for that.
If you looked at possibly £100 and maybe £140 for the lot, that would be about right.
If you check out eBay anyway and look to see what is selling for how much.
Otherwise, you look at either selling in the local paper.

I've just sold a couple of HP Vectras P3s with 6GB HDD 384MB RAM with a monitor and keyboard loaded with Win98 for £100 a piece in the local paper, but on EBay I'd be lucky to get £25 each, these were being binned at work, so didn?t cost me a penny, and I used the company phone to make the premium rate call to the papers advert line.

@*agent47*
I'd definitely say your machine was mid-way in the medium slot, as its still a pretty good PC you've got there and the GPU is a very nice card, I used to have the X800XTPE which I was impressed with.
