Case: Honestly dont try and include it in your price, theres a million good budget cases these days and plenty on the used market for next to nothing

Processor: Used CPU prices are weird, some people sell them for around 100 USD and some 200USD. Personally I think a fair value is in the 80-100 USD range as there are so many budget CPUs these days that offer a modern platform to upgrade in

Motherboard:Honestly if you are selling it as a whole maybe include 40 bucks in the cost. Again people seem to think old PC hardware retains this massive value, it really doesn't.

Memory: 20-30 USD

Video card: This is the one big ticket item, and the 1080 is still a strong card. Id say in the 300-350 range

PSU: Nothing, used PSUs are iffy and...

PSU: Nothing, used PSUs are iffy and especially that version of the CX which was not very good.

CPU Cooler:If its a few years old then probably nothing, AIOs have a life span of roughly 5 years so most peopel arent going to buy a several year old one

SSD and HDD: Your SSD is very small, and nowadays a new 240 is maybe 20 or 30 bucks and a 2TB HDD is 40 or 50.

Casefans: Again if they are just generic fans probably worth a few bucks.


Personally I think you would make more money selling the computer for parts.
