Not really, It can be $300-350, depending on what exactly the vid card is. | The CPU, while a quad core is a rather weak Athlon. A 300GB hard drive, by today's standards is small. While the video card isn't known, the fact that it only has 500Mb of RAM indicates it's a weak and likely outdated card. It's really not good for anything other than web-browsing and watching movies. With that in mind and the fact that it is used, it's really not worth a whole lot. Furthermore, people buying of Craigslist or eBay are looking for deals and are not going to pay full price. That said, I stick by my estimate of somewhere in the range of $200 to $250.

Well, after reading that, I think $225-275 would a suitable estimate, according to the bids received.

And it runs GTA IV on medium settings as well. I know the graphics card is now outdated, so im thinking of upgrading the card to 1GB First. But anyways, what do you think its worth? |
I say the Mobo/Memory/GPU/CPU all need upgrade. If you have a budget then you can show us, and we'll make you a suitable build based on it. | Nah i think id rather just sell it i guess. The tower case itself was $100. (no really). Im gonna sell it for $300 on ebay and craigslist i guess.

Really? I'd probably need one of those for my computer; I checked and it apparently has 138 GB (?), which seems too small to even be acceptable. |
Most computers these days come with at the least a 500GB hard drive, usually more. In my desktop PC, internally I'm running two 1TB drives and a 128GB SSD. Externally I have another 1TB drive running.

Nope, WRONG ANSWER That will play GTA V, I wouldn't sweat it, if it works well enough handling Ballad of Gay Tony, I should think V will work fine. I can't see them having even more problems making a PC edition, but the past is sketchy As far as Rockstar Games. I'm going to move ahead with Intel, though I have been looking at mobos for both Intel and AMD My i3 build on the 1156 I'd be selling for $300 as well, but considering my hardware deal shopping, I may try and undercut the normal cost of the parts, I wound up buying DDR3 before they price dropped yet again, so I did do a 4GB upgrade from 2, but that's really most useful if you make do with older Windows XP and 32bit still. It could also help in a case where you have extra Ram slots, just drop in a single gig stick or two This post has been edited by Slamman on Saturday, May 5 2012, 16:24

Besides playing IV @ Medium settings, then V, probably lowest settings. It's best for him to get a new build.

Well, the 5450 is what I have, I agree for the HD Radeon series, these are about 2/3 years old, but I checked MCenter, still available for low end cards, they offer an array up to cards costing $500 or more, and I never pay that much, but AMD Athlon II is not a monster CPU, you're right there, but AMD's whole line is rather lackluster, hence why they've dropped out of the CPU race against Intel Watch eBay bidding to see where a good proxy bid cutoff is, even if you buy in a store, etc, eBay is a great benchmark at how things hold value, used http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-ATI-Radeon-HD...c#ht_500wt_1030

(however im kinda worried GTA 5 on 360 will be on more then 1 disk, due to max payne 3 being on 2 disks) |
Why not buy another PS3 so you can keep all your games then and not have to worry about multiple discs or a 40% failure rate? |
You realize that its been proven the Slim 360 has a lower fail rate right? Anyways thats not really the point. Im tired of Sonys crappy service. Yea XBL is not free, but oh well to be honest. And i only REALLY played PSone games on my PS3 anyways, and i have a PSP which can play them, so no problem here really. Yea, i played ALOT of games on my PS3, and got to level 12. You can see my profile here: http://www.yourgamercards.net/profile/ccrogers15Now im using XBL/GFWL anyways. My Profile is: rogerscameron95 Ive so far got a 525 gamerscore from GTA IV and Fallout 3 on PC. This post has been edited by ccrogers15 on Sunday, May 6 2012, 06:58
