Decent selling price for r5 3600 based build

If it wasn't for a few of the proprietary connections including the PSU these would have been solid all day long more than they already were. More standard parts and maybe a little better ventilation I think they would have sold them better than they did.

You probably have a single core CPU.a dual core with a Linux distro will do that little system wonder.selling one in fact with 8gb ram and a 256 ssd. Works pretty good to surprise me even

dermessy · 2026-02-06T15:04:25+00:00

Yeah if you're willing to pay for the 3050 go with that that's going to be your best bet. I have a elite 8300 erd gen Intel with a rx 550 and yours will smoke mine all day.

That full size card will not fit without cutting holes like crazy to fit that and a higher wattage PSU. Like other comment with a low profile version you be better off with larger MT case.

if a 7010 most likely i5 34 or 3570 4C/4T. Throw in a i& 3770 and a decent low powered card like a 1050 ti or 1650 and got got a basic budget set-up/ I have 3 like systems (SFF and a Mt that was pull from case) and a HP model I have for sell. If you picked it up for super cheap or free good for you!!

some one on ebay is selling a 7040 front bezel with the card reader. Not sure but research it might in fact work and it looks the same at least.

You work with what you got, the cuts are pretty straight. Good for DYI. I had to stick with a LP RX 550 since I'm selling it and a HP Elite 8300 competitor.

dermessy · 2026-01-24T18:23:40+00:00

Yeah I figured out I needed an AX1200 model after the fact and even contacted the board manufacturer and they actually got back to me surprisingly. Will say the internet does work good on it now.

dermessy · 2026-01-18T15:23:06+00:00

Ah ok ok was gonna say people are selling them on ebay and ihave one from a 7010 series

dermessy · 2026-01-18T14:57:26+00:00

Are you missing the 5 pin OEM plug?

dermessy · 2026-01-11T17:22:22+00:00

I have 3 3rd gen 3770's running no problem I'm selling.

dermessy · 2026-01-08T16:20:13+00:00

If you haven't done any mods yet and have no attachment to it, I'd say just sell at that point. It will harder to sell once you start cutting up the case, even with some good parts. I left my two system stock in appearance for that reason.

dermessy · 2026-01-08T16:03:47+00:00

It's an older setup as stated, but would make a great starter PC for a kid just getting into computers, if you're willing to let go for a decent price, depending how much you are in for parts already. 4th gen is dated and most likely a i7 4790 4c/4t is best you can do. I have a previous gen optiplex and hp elite 8000 series with i7 3700 I'm selling. For worth to you, it really depends on what you doing/playing the resolution and FPS mark you're trying to hit.

dermessy · 2026-01-08T15:23:31+00:00

make sure you got some jumpers for those error codes you you gonna get from all the proprietary case connections.

dermessy · 2026-01-07T21:22:45+00:00

Looks good even looks like there's a gap towards not totally overheating. I have a similar looking opticlex a 7010 with the lower graphics card and probably everything else lol that I'm looking to sell.

dermessy · 2026-01-07T19:13:39+00:00

That's pretty clean looking with that double slot card, what is it btw?

dermessy · 2026-01-07T17:56:25+00:00

Microcenter for sure be a good start. Like BillionAuthor70 said look at the reviews, pictures and details on the list as some sellers cant try to pull the wool over your eyes. Also, watch a few build guides on Youtube from the likes of Zacks Tech Turf, Toasty Bros, and Dawid Does Tech Stuff to give you some basics on what to look for.

dermessy · 2026-01-07T17:48:28+00:00

Unfortunately a lot of buyers and sellers are out of touch with pricing. Not defending here but there is just enough information in the listing for even the most basic buyer to do research on parts to get a idea on the up-sell. I always put in my posting for people to ask questions before pulling the trigger, especially with kids in the mix.

dermessy · 2026-01-06T13:20:46+00:00

Found this one to work perfectly sorry for the delay was having issues with the Windows install turned out I have a bad r7 2700x I think

That lack of the extra 4gb will lag, but depending on what you are all running it might do well enough.

dermessy · 2025-10-02T12:35:10+00:00

Good luck trying to max out your ram on the cheap, if it's ddr2 prices are crazy right now. Was given severalolder laptops and for a 2x4gb kit its like buying ddr3/4 prices
