I'm just looking for an estimated value of this setup:

- i7 950 3.06ghz (only a stock cooler currently)
- 6GB kingston hyper x ram
- msi x58a gd-65 motherboard
- radeon 7870 2gb vid card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605)
- OCZ 700w psu (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018)
- this case (http://www.apevia.com/ProductsInfo.asp?KEY=X-Dreamer3-RD)
- includes a multi card reader for all sizes of memory cards for cameras etc
- DVD r/w drive
- no hard drive or OS
- no keyboard/mouse

The issue here isn't the parts, the issue is the computer not being complete.
People buying computers aren't looking for incomplete builds, they are looking for plug n play.


The best option here would be to either complete the build before selling, or part it out.
But you could always post an add on craigslist/ebay to test the waters. I'm speaking just from experience, anything is possible

A pc will usually fetch more if it is disassembled and the parts sold individually.
That is because it is unlikely that a buyer will want exactly the same pc.
Find your parts in used condition on ebay.
Then filter on completed auctions,
In green you will see what the part actually sold for.

I'm more thinking along the lines of selling to a co-worker who's not looking for something brand new and top of the line but would want a capable gaming pc. I could strip it down and piece everything out but I just put it back together this morning lol

You can expect $300 from a stranger in its current condition. The price depends on your location, and the knowledge of the person you're trying to sell it to. I actually just sold a very similar computer for $450.
The one I sold had very similar specs, but mine had a hard drive and OS... with games installed. It was plug n play... you're not going to get much of anything if it doesn't work "out of box". I doubt you would even receive any attention for it if you tried to sell it all together as is.
