What to keep what to sell?
Looking for advice on what you would do...
This is definitely a "first world problem"
I'm a bit of a pack rat, I have more GPU's and PC's than I need but I also don't want to get rid of something and wish I still had it (like my old Gameboy, Sega and ninja turtles haha).
I have a PC that I built specifically to sell. It's a good quality B350 ATX MB, Ryzen 5 3600. 1TB gen 4 ssd and 32 gb ddr4 at 3200 mhz. I happened to have bought all the parts BEFORE ramageddon and have been sitting on them. So I should make a decent profit. The used cost of that ram has more than doubled what I paid for it.
For GPU, I have available an Intel b580, RTX 3060 16 GB, and an RX 5700 XT.
More background:
I'm also building myself a custom home theater style PC with a cheap Chinese b550 itx, another Ryzen 3600 and a single stick of 8gb slow ddr4. Planning on a couch "steam machine". I'm ok with it being lower power because I'm mostly going to use it for 4k Moonlight to my actual higher end gaming PC.
I'm thinking the rx 5700 here.
I also built a custom made retro arcade a few years ago that is running batocera and powered by a 7th Gen i5, 32 gb ddr4 and a 1060 6gb. I'd love to upgrade this but truth is my kids and I never really use it once they lost interest in it.
Lastly, I have a plex server that is using an rtx 3050 for remote transcoding.
SO!
Options: I'm thinking about including the 3060 in the sale PC because it might lose value once nvidia starts the upcoming re-release of the 3060.
But, I've heard intel is stopping advancing their customer GPU line, so that card could lose value too... but I also like the idea of keeping it forever to eventually be a memorabilia piece (even if only for myself). That and I'm thinking that the b580 might be a better transcoder than the 3050 currently in my plex server.
And then there is the possible improvement to the arcade. Intel isn't a good option there since it's running linux. So either three 3060, 3050 or 5700... But it also seems like a waste to upgrade something we don't really use.
Lastly, I'm REALLY hesitant to let that 32 gb of ram go at all. My main gaming PC already has 32gb so I can't use the upgrade anywhere. But at the same time, ram is getting scarce. I thought about buying a used set of 16gb ddr4 for the sale build. But that will eat my profit since I'd be paying today's prices on it.
Decisions decisions for an incredibly indecisive person.
I hope this post doesn't come off as me being an entitled douche "with too many toys". Like "oh no, the insurance on my private jet is so high". Haha.
