Hey guys, thinking of selling my rig to change to a high end laptop but need help pricing it.

Cpu: i5-4690k
Mobo: MSI z97 Sli krait edition
Ram: hyperX 8gb ddr3 1600
Gpu: 2 msi GTX 970 Sli
Cooler: Corsair h100i v2
Power: Corsair 850w fully modular
Case: Corsair full tower
Storage: 1tb Seagate he's, 240gb Samsung ssd

Also got a CD drive as rare as that is.

Any advice would be great, also what it might cost if I held onto one of the 970 cards.
Thanks

It helps to know where you are located. With that said, you may be better off selling the components parted out in components. Maybe like CPU, motherboard, memory combined and then the SLI 970s as a pair, PSU, cooler, etc. I sold my SLI EVGA 970s last month for $420 as a pair. Used GTX 970s and 980s have actually shot up in value over the months since the Ethereum mining craze took off. Again though it just depends on where you are located and the market for used PC parts. I live in a big city in the US and there's been no shortage of Craig's List customers buying my used components for 10+ years.

It's hard to put a value on the system as a whole because nobody has your exact build. I have a similar build except having a 1080Ti now. What can be measured is looking on eBay and even here on Tom's classified to see what comparable PC builds and individual components are going for. It's kind of like a used car: worth more in parts than in whole. With that said, off the top of my head being in the US, I'd say an asking price of $700 would be a good starting point which is what I would have asked for my build with SLI 970s. But don't expect to get it.

Final note: the longer you wait to sell, the less you'll get for it/them. This is crucial when having a system that is a three old chipset. Further, if Ethereum crashes, the used PC and component market will be flooded with people dumping their parts.
