My friend is selling and asked how much it's worth. I said about £100.

It's a Packard Bell of some sort.
Pentium 4 3.4GHz
2GB DDR ram PC-3200 (400MHz)
2 x 200GB hard drives
DVD-RW drive and a DVD-ROM drive.
Built in memory card readers.

The graphics card was originally an ATI Radeon 9600 of some sort, but it's since been upgraded to a nVidia 7600GT (AGP x8). Should he stick the old GPU back in and sell the new one seperate or sell it with the new GPU in and the old ATI card seperate? How much would you say stuff is worth?

I was thinking closer to £200 but I'm not sure about current prices, PCs get twice as cheap and twice as powerful every 1.5 years or something like that. The 2 graphics cards will push the total up a bit. £100 seems a bit conservative, hell I'd even buy that for £100 and I'm a tight assed git :P

I wouldn't buy that lol.

But 100-200 seems fair? What peripherals?

£130-£180 probably. My parents paid £600 for a very similar setup this time last year, and my goodness, it's now only worth about £150, though I do have the 7300 GS and AMD Athlon x2 which is probably worse.

It is just the base unit and no periphials i don't think. Though it has a fairly decent Creative soundcard in as well. I'm thinking around £100-120 as it's to a friend.

Take the nVidia graphics card out and put the ATI back. That nVidia is a nice card and he should keep it for gaming.

If he gets a new desktop though, which is inevitable if he sells this one, it won't be AGP compatible, and will need something a little more powerful that a 7600GT. The spare card that's not sold in the PC will be put on ebay probably, may get £10 for the 7600Gt and lol @ trying to sell the ATi 9600.
