So Im building a new pc as my laptop is slowly starting to be able to play less and less games even when running crossfire (Only has 2GB of GDDR3 Ram).
My New PC will cost around $800 and with be with a r9 270x or 280x and an FX-8350

Now im considering Selling my Ps3, Its a 320GB and I only have a few games left. Should I sell it, If so how much should I try to get out of it? Currently all I PLay is PC and Xbox One. Havent Played ps3 in a 2 months or so. (PS If i sell it it'll be on craigslist, Not on here)

Last gen console for 170 GBP, you must be dreaming or something?

Id highly recommend going to PC however, it depending on the amount of money you have.

For example, if you can only get $300 then stay on consoles as its not worth upgrading to pc.

For a minimum pc build, your looking at $500/$600

Make sure to get a good power supply this is the most common skimp point and its pretty much the most important piece of hardware, because if you buy a crappy one and it craps out under load it could kill everything its connected to.

In fact ill save you the trouble and recommend you one

If you don't play it then sell it, I'm not sure how much you'll be able to get out of it though.

Typically where I live, a 120GB with 5-20 games can get $225. Im just looking to get rid of it to speed up getting a new pc. AFter 2 years for building computers for other people/friends where I live I think its time I build myself a new one

If you dont play the ps3 anymore you are best off selling it. Look around on numerous sites to see how much the price for it ranges between then put up a price you think is suitable for the ps3.
