Okay here is the problems you need to understand, your selling a 'used' 'custom' built PC. That means there is no warranty or bringing it back 'to the store' to exchange and refund, so your looking at 1/2 the value you paid right off. Further it would be asked, what is wrong with it that you want to sell it?

Secondly it is a i5 3rd Gen, they are still selling but 4th Gen is out and cost had been dropped significantly. I can (via Slick Deals) get a i7 Haswell, no gamers card and probably a 5400RPM HDD for $550. At Walmart I can get a i5 Desktop for $349 brand new, what would that place yours down at?

Given the risk, and the low price cost most people would be looking at, maybe $300-400, but all depends if there are alot being sold with 'more' (i.e. games included, SSD, etc.)

You'd probably get somebody knocking at your door pretty quick if you tried to sell it for $500 - $750. Give it a shot, if nobody comes then you can lower the price a bit.

you can build that system brand new for about $600-650 brand new even counting the os.

since it is used you would at bare minimum need to drop 1/4 of the price right off the top. this puts you in the $450-500 range provided that it is in good working order without any defects. depending on how old it is you might have to drop further say to $400.
