Are individuals still purchasing these items?
I have an MSI Z97I GAMING AC motherboard, a Core i7-4790 processor, and Kingston HyperX FURY DDR3 (2x8GB) RAM. I'm curious if anyone still purchases this older gear, especially if you're thinking about selling it. If not many people are interested, I won't bother trying to figure out the process.
Certainly they do. It functions properly and some find it sufficient on its own. Pairing it with a 1060 or 970 provides a solid gaming experience at 1080p.
Thanks in advance! I'm looking for feedback from others about this before finalizing the listing or purchasing the packaging. The parts themselves are working, but they just need some cleaning.
Old rigs aren't easy to sell. Check your local market to gauge prices, and offer lower bids than the competition—because you need to get your items sold.
You can offer it as a package to guarantee success. Z97 holds significant value, worth its weight in gold—double the price. The 4790k is highly desirable and will sell quickly at a fair rate. People are willing to pay for DDR3 at an appropriate price. Bundling makes it easy; around $250 or more.
I remember that point too. Since I’m in Australia, could you tell me about the current prices? The prices I’ve seen for the mobo range from $400 to $500, and similarly for the CPU and RAM. I saw an i7 around $300 to $400 and the RAM at comparable levels. I don’t know if those listings are genuine. (It’s an i7-4790, not 4790K, so it should be priced higher.)
This item is a top-tier 1150 CPU, among the quickest available and still widely used despite newer builds. The LGA 1150 socket remains popular, making it easy to sell. The mini build option adds value due to its cost. A good DDR3 stick is also highly anticipated at reasonable prices. These components can be sold individually without any trouble.
Search eBay for your components—just type "hyperx ddr3" for better results—and check recent sales. Use the average price, ignoring extreme outliers. Adjust based on what you need: aim for higher than average if you can wait or target lower if you want faster availability. The 4790 remains in demand as well. It's a widely sought-after alternative that avoids the premium of the K-series.
