(Sorry, I've almost certainly posted this in the wrong forum, if a mod could more it somewhere more appropriate that would be great! Apologies!)]

I bought a custom builtt gaming PC at the beginning of the year, but my work/life balance has shifted dramatically since and I no longer can dedicate very much time to gaming (I get about 5 hours out of Witcher 3 each week :( ). So I think the best thing to do might be part ways, but I'm conscientious of getting the best value for it that I can.

It's a very high-end PC with about 4 1/2 years of warranty left on it.
The value of the parts on Amazon come to about £1140 (you can see the value of the parts here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/228W13CVNFJOL/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_ws_GcROvb0SGT34 ).

It's made up of:
BitFenix Prodigy Black Case
Intel Core i7 4790K Haswell Refresh Processor 4.0 GHz (Overclocked to up to 4.4GHz)
Corsair Hydro Series H55 Liquid Cooler
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste
Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI M-ITX Motherboard
16GB Corsair PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory (2 x 8GB sticks)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Graphics Card
250GB Samsung 840 EVO Solid State Drive
Seagate 2000GB SSHD Hybrid Drive
Blu-Ray ROM / DVD-RW Combi Drive
Corsair CX 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified PSU
Windows 8.1 64 bit 1
Gigabyte M6800 Gaming Mouse
Zalman ZM-K400G Gaming Keyboard


Anyone got any ideas what's a reasonable price to sell it at and where's best to sell it?
Thanks, in advance, for all your advice!

Haha, sorry, no cigar. Any ideas where best to sell it?
I'd really like to get about £900+, especially considering the warranty - you think that's pushing it? :/
(God, I hope not)
 
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.

Any PC, parts or whole, will naturally drop in price as soon as it is not new. Applies to any product. Different people will have different views.

I would suggest listing it for around £950, see if someone buys. If not, lower it to £900. etc etc
