Hi,
So I just upgraded to a r9 390 and my cpu is holding me back. I had a 7850 2gb OC edt. before this. If I was to sell my whole pc I would be selling it with the 7850 and not the r9 390.
I want to upgrade to an intel cpu and get a new PSU. I play games like CSGO, Arma 3/2, H1Z1 and Rust.
Arma 3 is very CPU intensive, as I'm sure you all know.
Anyway, on with my specs:

CPU: FX6300
GPU: Sapphire R9 390 Nitro (Would be selling with Sapphire 7850 2gb OC edt instead)
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M
PSU: CX600M
RAM: G.Skill 8GBXL Main Memory DDR3 (2x4)
HDD: 1TB WD Blue WD10EZEX & Seagate 500GB Laptop SSHD (It was a good deal when I got it...)
Case: Cougar Spike

If I wasn't selling the whole PC I would only keep the case and hardrives and probably the ram.

Edit: Also, If I was to sell the whole pc how much should I be expecting to get?

I'd say that you should look into slashing off 1/3rd of the original price for which you'd paid for that system though that would be a little too harsh if we knew how much you really bought it for. Please include the price of your system in INR/USD/Euro...

I can't exactly suggest, with confidence, on overclocking your system to remove that bottleneck on your system. I'm not sure of your RAM kit though if it's DDR3 1600MHz then you can go for a locked Haswell i5 and an H97/B85 chipsetted motherboard and drop in either of the GPU you have at hand.

The spike is of a top mounted PSU chassis which isn't a good design after major research has shown that to degrade your PSU faster. I'd recommend going for a Corsair/Coolermaster/Phanteks chassis while you're shopping for cases to build in. There are a handful of DDR3 based Skylake motherboards and most of them are in an mATX form factor. This could be a good excuse to downsize your rig in the process without sacrificing your performance/gaming numbers.

Selling separately could net you your investments back but they may take more time to recuperate. Hard drives can be retained though you can sell with only the SSHD installed and (as an excuse)get an SSD later.
