Are you selling it, or just for general knowledge?
(he who names the price first loses)

For me, the PSU and the cooling loop bring the price down a little.

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

It's used - 5 month or not - it's used.

Some people aren't going to like the fact that it's been running at 5GHz - no matter how cool you have it it's going to shorten the life of the CPU.

Some people aren't going to like the water cooling - this requires maintenance that most people aren't willing to do.

I'd guess about $1000-1200 the way it sits now.

I'm going to say a little higher than namdlo, $1500 in the open market providing someone is looking for something similar. The knocks against, in my opinion would be, only 8GB of RAM, 5Ghz CPU - because that would denote extreme overclocking and I would have to trust that it was done right or the CPU is about to go toast. The 680 is a little older now but still a good GPU and while water cooling is no longer my thing (been there/done that) it has it's merits and I would say neither bad nor good.

I agree completely thanks for the answer

Why a little less because of the loop?

I know it sucks but I once sold two (2) GTX295's a matching QuadSLI pair of cards for like $200 on ebay. They were perfect matching and still pulling strong on the charts at the time because no one wanted to pony up what the original cost was. Not even close.

I've changed my guess from $1000-1200 to $1200-1500 a couple of times.

As stated - it's used. Even Warezme states - 5ghz is going to be a hard sell.

$319 - 1 generation old processor
$450 new (770 4gb) - 1 generation old
$350 motherboard
$100 - memory
$120 - case
$150 - power supply
$170 - Raystorm 750 EX360 kit
$75 - RX240
$55 - RX120
$400 - 2x 250gb ssd
$400 - fans / connectors
---------------
$2589 - BRAND NEW IN BOX using prices I just looked up on the internet.

You didn't list a water block for the GPU - I'd assume you have one with that many radiators but you didn't list it. You didn't list quite a bit about the watercooling which is probably where you spent most of your $. That's $ you'll never see a return on - most people won't pay for it.

Sorry to disappoint you...

Because I have no idea of your (or whomever put it together) skills. It might be great, it might be crap. Absent independent info, my default is to assume crap.

Just like with car ads you see on craigslist. "I changed the chip, and added this, and modified that, and slammed it to the ground, and blah blah blah."
Great....but did you do it properly? No idea.

Will I come home one afternoon and find a puddle of green goo on the floor, and a fried CPU?

the 680 ftw 4gb retails for 550 without tax, the case is 160, the power supply is 250, might be on sale now for 140 but it usually isnt, i did not get an ex 360 kit as well, i bought all the parts seperately. I forgot to mention on the watercooling it is barb fittings and not compression. Also if you add up all the tax and shipping, when i said 3200 i meant with tax,shipping etc. Also there are no gpu waterblocks yet, i listed all of the parts except for the barbs on watercooling. With the right prices it comes out to 3369 WITHOUT tax and shipping. Guess my original math was too low

It sucks that the price goes down so much after next gen comes out :(

I think this build is worth well over $700,000 dollars.
