I've come into a situation whereby I don't get the usage from my pc for gaming like I used to and it's gonna stay like that for the foreseeable future. Therefore rather than letting it rot in the corner (and also wasting my money) I'm offering it up for a new home !

Specs:
Intel Quadecore Q6600 CPU 8mb Cache
4gb GeIL PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 CAS 4-4-4-12
Asus P5K Pro Intel P35 (Socket 775)
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB
Thermaltake BigTyp 120 VX CPU Cooler
CM Stacker full tower aluminium case ( http://www.overclockers.com/articles1087/ )
Samsung Syncmaster 226BW monitor
Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Mouse (weights, cablehook, LCD screen with variable on the fly DPI settings)
360gb HDD space
DVD Writer

I'd prefer to sell the whole lot in one bundle but if there's enough interest for parts I will strip it down and sell it separately. Also if you live in the Oxford area you're welcome to come see it and save on delivery charges.

I'm really not going to be able to use it due to studies and work, so if it can go to a good home then let me know !

I have Vista 64 Home Premium on there at the moment but if you have your own OS i'll knock some money off. I'm looking for about 650 or so with the monitor... but good offers will be considered. Cheers.

I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

I stopped playing WoW a long time ago I started AOC which is awesome and I can see me spending another 4 yrs on that easy so I'm trying to be mature and hitting it on the head so I don't end up living at home for the rest of my life lol. I'm studing a bookkeeping course (not exactly interesting to most I know) but it's good money at the end and I can be self employed while dabbling in other small ideas of companies I'm thinking of.

So.... this is me being grown up I guess. lol

According to the stats they do, but they don't sign up or use the forum.

How much would you be willing to sell the processor, mobo, and RAM for?

well I'd only sell it in parts if the rest of it is sold too.... so if you get enough other people interested in the rest i'll sell it all to different people like that, otherwise it's too much hassle and i'll be left with bits here and there.

The processor sells for £80 second hand at the moment. The RAM's £24 each or so new so £30 for both sets... but again, depends if you can find buyers for the rest
