what would you say the value of my computer is?

so my plan is to sell both my desktop and my current laptop to buy a newer laptop that is more suitable as a desktop replacement, but im not quite sure how much to sell my desktop at.

right now the specs are as follows:

cpu: i5-3570k @3.4 GHz (I don't know if it would affect the value to another person, but i can overclock it to 4.4GHz if wanted)

cpu cooler: CM hyper 212 evo

gpu: xfx r9 290( again this was one of the first reference models which actually contains a r9 290x chip but with disabled cores, where i can flash the r9 290x bios to unlock the extra cores, so i dont know if this will increase value, because its still technically a r9 290) sadly this gpu was purchased right during the scrypt mining bubble so it was at a whopping $520

second gpu: i also have a radeon hd 7750 1gb, this is used to power my vga monitor that i was too reluctant to give up, i will probably remove it and put it back into my brothers computer where he is actually using my radeon hd 7870 that i will probably also sell

memory: 4gb x 2 corsair vengeance lp 1600 mhz

Storage:
crucial m500 120gb ssd
seagate sv35 1tb
some old 400 gb samsung hd

power supply: Thermaltake toughpower xt 675w semi-modular

motherboard: asrock extreme4 z77

a dvd RW drive

OS: windows 10 pro

case: fractal design define r4 (there is an extra fan installed, and the front audio ports don't work, although all it will take is a call to fractal design to send a replacement but i haven't gotten around to do it.

originally built in late 2013, the only upgrades throughout its life was the r9 290 that replaced the radeon hd 7870 and the ssd was added about a year and a half ago. as far as condition goes, there is no physical damage besides the front audio ports and one of the those sliding clips for the main pcie lane is cracked off, but doesn't really affect anything, both gpu and cpu were only overclocked briefly, all air intakes are filtered, the build was done very well, along with almost all cables being hidden in the cable management.

so what do you guys think i would be able to sell this for on say craigslist? in a perfect world i would like to get around $1000 for it, but im not so sure if that will be possible. feel free to ask about any other specifics.

That was posted 2 months ago. Overpriced?
Maybe you can squeak out $700.

OS is a given.
OC? That might be a detriment.
Drives? Nothing special there.

I am going to fix the front audio ports and the pci-e slot is fully functional, the thing is that any comparable performance builds are going for 800+ on craigslist near me, just wasnt sure if certain things would sway this number between number of hard drives, overclocking, os, etc.

best deals around 500 dollars look like this https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/sys/5380255635.html

I know this was your baby, but it is only worth what someone else will pay for it.
