Hello tom's community, I want to build a new gaming PC now that I've acquired the knowledge to make a good price for performance build.

This is what i currently have... http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JvqLwP
I want to sell it, so I can start fresh. I was wondering what a fair asking price for this would be.
 
Solution
Do you mean that you have already built the computer that is in the PCpartpicker link and want to sell it? If so you could probably get $800 if it's used but maybe up to $1500 if it's all new.
This AMD build is better:

Both Intel builds are better than the AMD for gaming.

When picking out parts for gaming you want to spend the most on your graphics card.
