thats my pc....plz help me to make a decision about the deal??
want to sell for R14 000 :confused:
 
If you sell, sell it in individual componets, that way you will make more money. Cause selling a complete PC nowadays is insainly difficult, believe me I've tried and failed, I landed up selling in individual componets, it's what the people want and you make like 30% more than you originally wanted :)
 
Nice pc, 14 grand - dunno hey. If you r non negotiable then don't go to the prophecy forums cos they'll want to buy in bits.
 
Machine is still great! I would suggest selling the GTX card and buying a later version. Everything else is fine. You didn't mention why you want to sell. Maybe knwoing that we could provide more educated opinions?
 
What would you even buy? That PC must be able to play every game right now anyway, and you could just upgrade the graphics card, you won't see much better performance with a whole new system anyway.

Wait for better tech to come out until you upgrade.

I agree... that machine is still a beast and can play anything out there at the moment.
 
Don't sell. That system is still very fast by all means. Your motherboard should also support the new 45nm Intel chips after a BIOS update, so consider maybe buying a new chip at most.

Don't touch your graphics card, except to maybe buy a better heatsink for it. At your 22" resolution, the 8800GTX can play any game at extreme quality settings.
