Looking to sell my PC, as wanting a much beefier setup.

Specs:

CPU - FX 6300 overclocked to 4.4GHz
Cooler - Coller Master Hyper 212 EVO
MoBo - ASUS M5A97 R2.0 EVO
RAM - Kingston Hyper X Fury 8GB @1866Mhz
GPU - MSI Gaming RX 480 8GB
Case - Zalman Z11 Plus
HDD - 1TB Caviar Blue
SSD - 120GB Kingston

I have put specs into PCPartPicker, it came out at £800 new, if I knocked even £300 off to £500 I didnt think it would be worth that much?

Is this right, not really sure how much second hand custom builds are worth.

No it would be better to transfer you existing copy to your new PC so it can't be loaded on the old one. Tie it to your email to ensure they don't accidentally override your copy when they install it is all. If you did not include windows in the price, your sale prices are fine, if you included win10 in the price then you need to knock a little more off the cost or load a fresh copy of windows on it with.

That's tough. Since the AM3+ socket is a dead end and the platform is used...I would say more like £400, £450 if your lucky. And that may be overly kind though with the rx480 derth do to miners it may well go for £500. What kind of shape is your system in and how many hours use (ball park) does it have?

So I was expecting around £350-£400 for it, so glad i was along the right lines.

It has about 4000 hours of use, in very good shape. We own an air compressor at home, so i clean out dust monthly (probs overkill)

Runs everything I throw at it with ease, never had overheating issues even in summer with overclock.

I was assuming it was not included since not listed. If included in pricing arich5 is correct. Your windows 10 won't carry...well done correctly it can but it is a potential security nightmare i urge you to avoid. Tie the win 10 license to your email before formatting it to oblivion. Otherwise when they load win10 it may well use your motherboards MAC and re-license your copy if not tied to your email and open that security nightmare I mentioned.
