[SOLVED] What price should I sell my computer at?

[xander.dec]

!I would like to start off by stating that this is not an advertisement. I am not sure about the advertising rules regarding this forum. However, I am simply trying to get an estimate on my pc from more seasoned computer enthusiasts.!

Some Background: In December of 2016 I decided that I would get into pc gaming and really commit to the gamer lifestyle. I wanted a pc that would last me through college but in my naivety, I did not account for Moore's law. I recently bought a 1440p 144hz monitor and my current setup cannot push the frames necessary for the panel to really shine. I have been putting off updating my setup but with the release of the RTX GPUs and the new i7 9700k, I finally decided to open my wallet (after saving for a long time) and buy a complete list of new parts.

My current setup:
MSI GTX 1080 gaming X
i7-6700k
Hyper 212 Evo LED
1 TB western digital green
Samsung 500gb SSD
16 GB g-skill Ripjaws
EVGA 850 watt platinum
S340 white case
Generic wifi card
4 Corsair 120mm red LED case fans

This computer has had a fair bit of use, however, it is still in the 90th percentile of performance (w/ other computers with similar components) It has been cleaned and a full windows reset has been performed. If anyone has any price estimates that I should advertise this pc at please let me know.
Thanks again,
-Alex

So, two year old PC with no warranty and self described "fair bit of use". IMHO, you would be lucky to get 50% of original price. It is possible that you may get more if you part it out, rather than trying to sell it as a complete computer.

The GPU has had no performance and/or thermal declines since purchasing and the CPU has been cleaned with a microfiber cloth every 4 months (thermal paste reapplied as well). I think I might have to sell each part separately but I would still enjoy getting a 60% return. Thanks for the input

I understand and I would like a 60% return also. My main point was the "no warranty" part of the estimate. I think that would be a major show stopper, at least to me. Hope you can get what you want for it.

$1000 at least.

 

[mdd1963]

concur with the $1000 estimate above, but, even between $900-$995 would reasonable if pricing to sell were a goal.......

Gaming-wise, the rig is still quite competent, as 4c/8t cpus still do well in BF1 and BF-V, etc...and the GTX1080 is certainly no slouch at anything.

Thanks, guys for your quick and informational answers. I will try to get 50-55 % if possible
