How much is this pc worth

memory · 12-17-2006, 05:05 PM

I thought about selling my desktop and buying a new one for gaming. Here are the specs of mine:
Dell Dimension 9100
Intel Pentium D@820
1gb ram(2x512) DDR2 SDRAM PC4300
Nvidia Geforce 6800GS PCI-e 16x Overclocked from factory
Sound Blaster Audigy 4 sound card
2 DVD-RW drives
Maxtor 250gb SATA hard drive
Western Digital SATA 200gb hard drive

If I put this on ebay, what could I get for it? What about just selling to an individual? This would not come with a monitor. It is just over a year old. If I bought a new one, I would play games like Battlefield 2142 and use for internet and Microsoft stuff and also music and movies. Would it be worth getting 2 video cards in SLI for gaming?

I paid 800 for it brand new but I added the video card, sound card, WD hard drive, dvd drive, and memory myself.

One other thing, which is better for gaming, AMD or Intel? I have never had a problem with Intel, but I heard that AMD is better for gaming.

AMD used to be better but with intel's Core 2 Duo They are the best right now.

what games are you running? that thing dosent look too bad for gaming, if you really needed the power than upgrade the gfx card

Right now I just have Battlefield 2142 installed since I just formatted. But I like to play Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 2 and some other ones.

I would like to have a Intel core 2 duo processor. But if I did just upgrade the video card, the problem is I only have a 375watt power supply. Would that be enough for 2 video cards(maybe a 7900gt or higher) in SLI?
