What's the point in selling the whole thing? Use parts of it in your new build.

Anyway, I just did a quick calculation of everything in your build if you were to buy it brand new and it came to £1138. I'm not sure how much you sell a used PC for but at least you know it has to be less than that :p  I'd say £600 if it was me selling it but that's me :)

Personally i think it would be more than that considering the 2 GTX660's cost me about £260 ($440)

But thanks for your comment! it will still help out :)

Thanks for your reply!
most of the Parts are almost brand new still, obviously the usage on testing making sure everthing runs fine, i was thinking maybe £700-800 as it will also run most games in ultra with atleast 60 fps

"almost brand new" = used. Whether it be 2 weeks or 2 years....used.

Selling used computer parts even if their just a few weeks old is always a gamble. It's just like going to the grocery store and seeing a box of cereal that has been smashed in on a corner..you know the cereal inside is fine, but the damage to the box makes you pick a ''newer'' looking one. It's that same type of stigma. Used computer parts in general lose a decent amount of value as time goes on.

A few things to note is, nobody is really going to buy used traditional HDD's ..the SSD should sell fine assuming you're wiping everything off (for privacy reasons obviously) and formatting it.

You cannot sell a used copy of Windows 7 so chalk that off the list. (if you're selling the system as a whole then that's slightly different if its preloaded).

case with a custom paint job = cut that value by 70% nobody wants to buy cases that you've modified.

Selling a CPU you've stated that has been overclocked can also be a turn off for some buyers so keep that in mind as well. After everything is considered I'd say its probably would around. £500-575

Furthermore, why are you going to sell everything to start over..it makes absolutely no since. If you wanted to have the biggest upgrade, sell your graphics cards and upgrade to a better single unit. Your i5 is still perfectly fine and you can probably just hold off until broadwell to look into upgrading even further. Unless your that annoyed with the performance your system is getting..why end up LOSING money attempting to upgrade so soon.

The used PC market is very fickle to say the least. Good luck in whatever you choose to do.
