@charger bandit: Thats slightly cheap considering there isnt a game this PC cant run maxed out with full AA (Crysis runs at 43fps average at very high with 16AF and 4xAA)

Here is a link showing a short video of the PC:

I would have said charger bandit's offer was pretty generous.

I think it would be your processor which lets you down on the price really.

Fair enough..I have a quad core 3.2Ghz Quad core AMD in it's box unopened (that I never got round to swapping over), so If I was to replace it with that, would that make it any better?

Probably, as the Graphics card is the best component at the moment. Also its probably worth giving the case a good clean/dusting and tidying away some of those wires.

Makes it look a lot less "old".

Everyone wants to sell their stuff for more than it's worth... mainly because it was once there's and they have some attachment to it. I know how you feel though. I always used to over price my old computers and they never sold. Plus, your market is probably other students on campus... they don't have the biggest wallets either. Pick an amount you know is an offer too good to refuse.

450 euros is definitely a generous offer for those specs, if you're serious about selling it I would consider that. It's easy to overestimate hardware's value, but really it all devalues extremely quickly.

I gave the max amount you can offer your PC for.I can easily build a new gaming pc for 500 bucks that is equal or better than yours.
