On eBay there are ones that have lower specs that are actually selling
for over $700. So I think that mine is worth at least that much. Thanks.

Yeah... what someone asks for and what they actually get on EBay are two separate things. Your system would likely fetch closer to $450.

Cost a little over $500 new. Honestly the ones on Ebay are overpriced and most of the seller are trying to cheat the computer novices.

I just bought parts over the weekend for almost this exact build and was able to get it for around $350 with all the mail in rebates and discounts (had an R7 360 instead and got an SSD instead). And if you have a Micro Center near your house you can pretty much get that CPU and MOBO for like $110 cause they have that CPU/MOBO $40 off combo.

Especially with older builds, you won't get anywhere near new prices when selling as used. Like others have said, build it on PCPartpicker and figure out what it's going for for a new system. Then mark yours down to about 60-70% of that. Keep in mind that you not only have to sell it for less because, hey it's used, but also because there's no way to prove to a prospective buyer what kind of history it had. For all they know, you could've had a hundred or more viruses and malware on it during the course of your ownership, that's a risk. Also, since it's used, the warranties are very limited if not expired altogether. It's tough to sell computers for a decent price for these reasons.
