Here’s our free PC price calculator for used computers. Pick the parts in your PC. We add up a used-market value for each one. You get an instant estimate in US dollars, a part-by-part breakdown and the share of the total that comes from the graphics card. A realistic starting point for a listing. Not a guaranteed sale price.
| Field | What goes in |
|---|---|
| CPU | Your processor, grouped by family |
| GPU | Your graphics card |
| Motherboard | By chipset |
| RAM | Up to 2 kits, slot 1 and slot 2 |
| SSD and HDD | By capacity |
| PSU | By wattage |
How to use the PC price calculator
Pick each part from its list. Anything you don’t have stays at None. The total updates on its own with every pick.
- Pick your processor in the CPU list. Parts are grouped by family, for example AMD Ryzen 7 or Intel i7.
- Pick your graphics card in the GPU list. Then your motherboard by chipset: B450, B550, B650, Z690 and so on.
- Choose the RAM in slot 1. Got a second kit or stick? That goes in slot 2.
- Set your SSD, HDD and PSU. Leave any part you don’t have, or don’t want to sell, at None.
- Read the Estimated PC value, the number of parts priced and the GPU share. No button to click, the price updates with every pick.
- Press Copy result to paste the breakdown into your listing notes, or Reset to clear every field.
| You see | What it is |
|---|---|
| Estimated PC value | The total, in US dollars |
| Parts priced | How many of the 8 parts got a value |
| GPU share | The graphics card’s part of that value |
How this PC price calculator works
Each part in the lists has one fixed used-market value in US dollars. The estimate is the plain sum of the 8 fields. CPU, GPU, motherboard, two RAM slots, SSD, HDD and PSU. A part left at None adds $0. GPU share is the graphics card’s value divided by the total.
The values are stored in the calculator itself, carried over from the earlier version of this tool. Typical used prices, not live data. We don’t pull prices from eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.
Prices for newer parts in particular can lag behind the market. So we’d always compare with recent sold listings for your exact models.
A real sale can differ from the estimate by 10 to 20%. Condition, brand, warranty and your local market all move it. The case, cooler, fans, Windows licence and peripherals aren’t in the lists and add nothing to the total.
How much is my PC worth? Three sample builds
Three builds, priced in this calculator. The graphics card makes up 33 to 57% of those totals.
| Part | Budget build | Mid-range build | High-end build |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Ryzen 5 3600: $95 | Ryzen 5 5600: $110 | Ryzen 7 7800X3D: $380 |
| GPU | GTX 1660 Super: $140 | RTX 3070 8GB: $350 | RTX 4080 16GB: $1,050 |
| Motherboard | B450 AM4: $55 | B550 AM4: $85 | B650 AM5: $130 |
| RAM | 2 × DDR4 3200 8GB: $50 | 2 × DDR4 3200 16GB: $84 | DDR5 32GB: $110 |
| SSD / HDD | 500GB NVMe + 1TB HDD: $58 | 1TB NVMe: $65 | 2TB NVMe: $120 |
| PSU | 500W: $22 | 650W: $32 | 850W: $50 |
| Estimated value | $420 | $726 | $1,840 |
| GPU share | 33% | 48% | 57% |
Not sure what’s inside your PC? On Windows, open Task Manager and go to the Performance tab. The CPU, memory, disk and GPU names are all there.
Want to know how the same parts perform in games before you set a price? The FPS calculator shows their expected frame rates. Handy to quote in a listing.
How much is my PC worth? Check your exact parts first
People search for a “how much is my PC worth scan”. Truth is, a web page can’t read most part names from your PC. CPU model, motherboard, power supply: the browser doesn’t see them. So no online PC price calculator really scans. Windows can tell you almost everything in two minutes, though.
| Part | Where to look in Windows |
|---|---|
| CPU | Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), Performance, CPU: the full model name sits at the top right |
| RAM | Task Manager, Performance, Memory: size, speed and slots used |
| SSD and HDD | Task Manager, Performance, Disk: model and type for each drive |
| GPU | Task Manager, Performance, GPU: name and dedicated memory |
| Motherboard | System Information (Win + R, msinfo32): the BaseBoard Manufacturer and BaseBoard Product lines |
| PSU | Windows doesn’t report it. Read the label on the power supply, or the build invoice |
The GPU line needs a driver with WDDM 2.0 or newer, per Microsoft’s DirectX blog. Any current driver has it. Prebuilt PC from a big brand? The BaseBoard line may show the maker’s own code. No retail board name. Then pick the chipset that matches.
Got the list? Pick the same parts above. Write the model names into your listing too, because buyers search by them.
What makes your PC worth more
The GPU matters most. In a typical gaming PC the graphics card often makes up 40 to 60% of the total value. The CPU comes second. RAM, storage and the PSU add the least.
| Part | Value in this calculator |
|---|---|
| RTX 3070 | $350 |
| RTX 4090 | $1,600 |
| Integrated graphics | Nothing for that slot |
| Ryzen 7 5800X3D | $280 |
| Intel i7-12700K | $260 |
| i5-7600K | $70 |
| 32GB of DDR4 3200 | Around $70 |
| 1TB NVMe SSD | $65 |
| 650W PSU | About $32 |
A strong CPU adds a few hundred dollars to your total. Older chips bring much less. Same for chips of that age that aren’t in the list, such as the i5-8400.
Check whether your CPU still fits current motherboards. AM4, AM5 and LGA 1700 parts usually sell faster, because buyers can still upgrade around them.
A strong CPU paired with a weak GPU can put buyers off. So can the other way round. The bottleneck calculator shows how balanced your pair is.
RAM and storage add less value. These parts are cheap new, so used prices stay low. Same goes for power supplies, and buyers rarely pay extra for one. A buyer asking whether your PSU can handle a GPU upgrade? The PSU calculator gives a quick answer.
Sell PC parts or a complete system?
Parting out usually brings more money. Selling complete is faster. Pick by what you’ve got.
| Sell as parts | Sell complete | |
|---|---|---|
| Money | More, often around 15 to 30% extra | Less |
| Time | Roughly 2 to 4 weeks, and more work | Days instead of weeks, less hassle |
| Best for | High-end GPUs and CPUs | Mid-range and budget builds |
An RTX 4070 Ti usually sells faster alone. But a $600 gaming PC tends to sell quickly as a complete unit, to someone who wants plug and play. Nobody really wants a used 500W PSU on its own. Small parts are best left inside the build.
How fast a used PC sells
| What you sell | Typical time |
|---|---|
| A gaming PC, priced right, sold locally | Often within about 3 to 7 days |
| A high-end GPU on eBay | 1 to 3 days |
| An office PC | Usually longer |
| Budget parts | Can sit for weeks |
The asking number decides most of that. We’d take it from sold listings, not from hope.
How to get top dollar for your used PC
Clean it, test it, describe it exactly, price it from sold listings. Those four steps usually matter more than any single part.
A dusty PC with a vague title like “good gaming PC” sells slower and for less. Clean, exact model numbers, clear photos, test results: that one does better.
Clean everything. Dust kills sales. Take photos in good light. Show the inside, the ports and any scratches.
List exact model numbers. Buyers search for specific parts. “RTX 3060 Ti” gets found, “good graphics card” doesn’t.
Test before selling. Run benchmarks. Check temps. Confirm all ports work. Put the test results in your listing, because buyers pay more for verified working parts. Including a keyboard? Run it through the keyboard tester first.
Price from sold listings. On eBay, turn on the “Sold” filter. Asking prices tell you nothing, sold prices tell you what buyers actually pay. Parts in great shape? We’d start a little above the estimate. Want a quick sale? A little below.
Peripherals and extras in the PC price
| Extra | Effect on the sale |
|---|---|
| Case or cooler | Not priced here; a nice one can help the PC sell faster, but buyers rarely pay much extra |
| Activated Windows | $0 here; it can make a PC easier to sell to a non-technical buyer |
| Keyboard and mouse | Little value |
| A good monitor | Usually sells better separately |
| Cables and original boxes | Include them; small things build buyer trust |
Every value here is in US dollars. Selling in another country? Convert the total, then look at local listings, since used prices differ a lot between markets.
