someone checked the listing and found the computer online. they mentioned it was used by a company that shut down, but the seller is open to selling it for a reasonable price. the machine has a bunch of other old gear, and its specs include a 6700k hero viii motherboard, 32gb ram, noctuna cooler, and a boxy corsair case. the seller said they’re willing to part with it for around 250 dollars. since i’m not familiar with older hardware, i can’t give a precise value. what do you think it’s worth?

These components are definitely valuable. The RAM and CPU alone are worth close to $250. In this situation, the graphics card is around $150. A used Noctua cooler can fetch several hundred dollars based on its model. It really seems too attractive to be accurate. Do you think there might be an issue with it?

It would be worth around 400, making it a solid option. The CPU remains powerful, and the GPU performs adequately for 1080p gaming.

He mentioned the seller has a variety of items including computers, laptops, servers, monitors, tablets, notebooks, and other office equipment, such as 100$ i7 and i5 models. I don’t know much about the used market, so its value is unclear. He said he’s interested in buying it but isn’t sure. Also, the unit comes with a hard drive. Personally, I wouldn’t choose something with four cores; I’d prefer an older 8-core Xeon.

Based on the Xeon's age, its performance can vary widely. It might not always be the best for general use, even when handling productivity work. For instance, a 9600K could surpass the Cinebench R23 results of dual Xeon X5650 CPUs. That means 12 cores with Hyperthreading are better than a 6-core processor without it. Cores function similarly to frequency—regardless of the architecture.
