My PC gave out on me this week and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. I assembled it with parts totaling around $700 in 2012, and replaced the GPU and PSU in 2015 for around $250.
It worked faithfully until last week, when it got into a constant restart loop. Here's a twenty second video I just took showing the problem:

I've already bought a replacement computer, so I'm not so much looking for troubleshooting advice as for what I should do with it now to hopefully recoup some of the cost. I'd like to try to sell the parts on ebay, but the issue is I don't know which part is broken, or if there's even any demand at all for old parts. I could bring it to a computer repair store for a diagnostic, then sell the other parts on ebay, maybe?
Trashing it seems the most likely option, but I'd be very grateful for advice about what I should do with an otherwise fine, if outdated, PC with what I assume to be a blown out component. Thanks!
My configuration is:
Motherboard: AS Rock Z77 Extreme4
Processor: Intel i5 or i7; I can't recall which
PSU: Raidmax Vampire RX-700GH
GPU: GeForce GTX 660
RAM: Kingston, two sticks of 8GB each (KVR 1333d3n9k2/8G)
