So I've finally retired my old PC which was originally built in 2004 however the only original parts are the motherboard and processor. I've changed the graphics card, PSU and RAM over time so this stuff is relatively new.

I've not really seen if it is worth much, but based on selling a nackered graphics card for £15 previously, I might give it a go.

Am I right in thinking the only thing which holds personal information is the HDD, which I plan to keep?

Something occured to me, and I don't know why, is that the RAM or processor might hold some information?!

Are you planning on selling it complete or in parts? I'd say better off selling it complete.

Parts, but I don't think I'll get much for anything and it will be more hassle than it's worth. I can easily put it all back together again but then hassle sending it off as a case.

PSU is a Corsair VX 550W. I still have the original box and packaging because it has/had a 5 year warranty. No idea what it's worth though. Not much I guess...
