I'm thinking of giving up on gaming right now. I don't have the time for it and I'm thinking of selling my rig.

Here's everything I bought and how much I paid for it
The windows license is LEGIT

I'm not looking to get every penny back, I just want to know how much it would go for.

It has an extra 140mm fan I think in the front as well.

It also has individually sleeved red cables.

Edit: I still have most of the boxes they came in too if that helps.

As you can see, even these components, new, come to $230 below your cost. Additionally, you purchased several items that are primarily only of interest to you. $400 of your cost is in a keyboard, mouse, and retail Windows 7 Ultimate. I'd be shocked if I spent more than $25 on a keyboard/mouse combo andI can get Windows 7 Home Premium OEM for $80. That's an additional savings of $295. So we're already $525 below your cost and we haven't taken into account that it's used.

Just for being used, knock off 20% from the current "new" price
For each 6 months of age, up to two years, knock off an additional 5%
For each 6 months of age after two years, knock of 10%.

For example, if the age of the system is 14 months, the cost would be:

New Cost: $2258.42
- Superfluous Costs: $295
- 20% for being used
- 10% for two - 6 month of age periods.

or $1375

At least, that's how I see it.

Thanks for the detailed reply! The build itself is 6 months old. I'll probably keep the keyboard and mouse.
Hoping to sell the monitor with it though. Great reply honestly, I'll take it all into consideration!
