I was thinking about selling mine or my wifes computer since we stoped gaming and have no need for two desktops anymore. I just need some opinions on what would be a reasonable price to ask for each of them.

First one...
Sandy bridge I5-2500K
Gigabyte P67A-UD4
8g ram
EVGA GTX 570
Corsair 750 PSU
1TB HDD
CPU is water cooled
Inside a NZXT Phantom case with blue neon lights.
Windows 7 64

Second one is..
Ivey bridge I7-3770k
ASUS Motherboard
G skills 8g RAM
EVGA GTX 670
Corsair 850 PSU
ADATA 256g SSD
1 Tb. HDD
CPU is water cooled
Inside a blue and black AZZA case with blue neons
Windows7 64

What ever one I decide to sell will come with a Asus VG236H 23-Inch 3D-Ready LCD Monitor.

What could I expect to get out of each of these systems?

i5 is around $400, the i7 you could get $650 used. New i5s are had at around $550-650 (there are sales afoot now that college is about to restart) and new i7s only only going $100-300 more then that and that is for 3rd-4th gen CPUs.

Actually let me correct that, the i5 is Gen3, they are launching Gen5 right now (for School - Black Friday - Holidays), so actually your more likely get less then $200 for it. The video cards aren't 'top shelf' and this is second hand equipment, which means no warranties, garuntees, can't return them back to the store and sold AS-IS. Given that there is a big risk on the buyer then simply coughing up a bit more for the 'latest and greatest'.

Also consider PC prices are targetted to be as 'cheap and disposable as a cell phone'. If you go to Walmart.com you can pick up a brand new name brand i3 core for $249, or a i5 for $399 that has everything yours is offering except the 'gamer card' to most people (included in that Walmart price is the LCD, mouse, keybord, licenses, warranties, etc.).
