Estimate the Price

[Thefirstbuild]

Alright so I can only give you limited information. There is a Dell T1600 with a Intel Xeon CPU E3-1225, 12GB of RAM, a 1TB HDD, Nvidia Quadro(I plan to replace), and it has windows 7 64 bit. How much should a computer like this go for?

$300? somewhere around there, i guess dependent on what quadro gpu is in there.

It's a nvidia quadro 600. However that cpu is probably more than capable to handle a gaming workload. Am I right?

that cpu is certainly capable, its basically an i5-2400.

you are buying this and not selling it i assume?

only thing it might need is a power supply if you plan on putting a better gpu in it.

I'm laughing so hard right now! Thanks for telling me it's an i5-2400(I assumed it was worse).

Yah, I'll try to buy it. It's at an auction and hopefully I get some really dumb bidders....Then again when you say 12GB of ram everyone goes crazy!

I thought about the power supply. Hopefully it's a good one and I don't have to replace it. But worse case scenario I'll be jamming a potato in there.

yep, should be a sandy bridge i5 anyway, heres a link. and good luck bidding!
