How much can I expect to get out of my Gaming rig?

[cluel3ss]

Well I recently started thinking about selling my gaming rig so I can buy a laptop that I can travel with as I don't game as much as I used to. So I am either willing to sell the system as a whole, trade for a laptop with specs that are somewhat similar.

Specs are as followed

Intel Core i7 950
Radeon HD 6950 unlocked to HD 6970 shaders
Foxconn FlamingBlade x58 MoBo
SilverStone 750w PSU
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 6GB DDR3 1600Mhz
CoolerMaster V6GT CPU Cooler
CoolerMaster CM 690 II Advanced Case
1TB HDD

I have the most of the original boxes for the parts. And all of the receipts from Newegg or Micro Center. There are still about 2 1/2 months warranty on most of the components, lifetime warranties on the ram and GPU.

If, on Craigslist, I don't get an offer to barter the PC for a laptop, how much should I ask for it on Craigslist?

I figured I might be able to get a little more for the PC if I were to part it out and sell through eBay, or craigslist. Not sure, give me your opinions on what you think I could get out of it, and whether or not you think I should part it out and sell separately.

Thanks for the help

Yeah I can play Crysis 3 on High-Max settings and get good FPS, but Im not looking for what to expect out of the system performance wise. I am wondering what you guys think I can get out of it if I were to sell it on CL or ebay. Or trade for a laptop with similar specs

Well, the general thing is, you usually sell the computer for around 80% of the original cost. You can also try selling each part individually if you have the original packaging, and say: Used for X years. Most people may not have a mobo for the 950, and probably not want the mobo, but they may buy the 6950 unlocked, psu, ram, case, and the HDD for around 50-75% price. So good luck

Yeah I have the original boxes for everything. I think Ill probably end up parting it out. Anyone else have any thoughts?
