Here is a link to my pc on pc part picker.
I am looking to sell my pc and not sure what it is worth to this day. It has been looked after it gets cleaned regularly, it has some LED strips also even though that doesn't add value.

400-600 bucks would be fair

Wild guess: $300-$350?

I can't see myself paying more than that for it.

In mid 2017, I got a new Dell, with Windows 10 Pro license, and full warranty, for about $450 plus tax. There was a sale, to be sure. Also:

• 8GB of 2133 RAM instead of 16GB of 2666 RAM
• Basic GT 730 video card
• 1 TB HDD but no SSD
• Standard Dell OEM 460W PSU, but which they claimed (and they would have to deal with warranty issues) would support a 225W GPU

Now, you have an aftermarket PSU - but I think you have the pre-2017 redesign of the Corsair CX, though that's just a guess on my part. You also have the greater amount of RAM, but RAM prices have since come down significantly. The 1050Ti is decent as a 1080p card for its time, but not worth what it once was.

I don't know if your Windows license would transfer over with the PC (ie: it's an OEM license rather than a retail license which you'd keep to reuse on a new system).

I don't know what the used PC market is like in the UK, but in the US, I imagine it would be difficult to get more than USD$300 for the whole thing.

Go in my sig and click on the link (open the spoilers first) for ChromaTron. That's what was possible with under $600, though, admittedly, pre-Christmas sales were involved in some of the prices. Also, the video card was a carry-over from a previous system.

It's a relatively mediocre build. $250-300 USD tops. If you could get that much for it count your blessings.

Self built PC's don't tend to have good resale value. Non IT savvy people won't know the components so they look for a brand name like Dell/ASUS or whatever and IT savvy people that do know the components will build their own. Your target market is going to people just looking for a cheap bargain.

I'd work out how much it would cost for a brand new PC with that level of performance and it's going to be worth probably 50-70% of that considering it's used and unlikely to have any kind of warranty.
