You could sell it in Parts depending on how quickly you need the money? :)

Not quickly, was thinking that too. Not sure how much more I'd get doing that instead of just selling it all together at once though. If anything

I'm intrigued as to why you spent so much money so recently on a gaming machine if you've not played games in years?

Well you'll probably get about half of what its worth all together, but if you part it out you could probably recoup up to 80% on the current prices of the hardware.

The PC started off with a single core athlon, some old HDD and 1 GB of RAM. I've been upgrading it part by part over many years.

I generally just like speed / snappiness in Windows and do like to have lots of tabs and programs open and since I no longer play games I started thinking about selling my GPU, from there I realized that really the i5 Surface Pro 3 is powerful enough (might have to get the SP4 once it comes out for 16GB of RAM), with a NAS, USB Sound Card and the dock which will allow me to use my monitors etc it should replace my PC just fine. So the only thing that didn't really make sense was getting the 290X when I don't really play games, that was just because I do sometimes fire up a game for an hour or so and when I do I do like to run it maxed out, but as my game time gets lower and lower I can no longer really justify having that kind of a GPU for an hour a week.

Parting it will always bring more money, but may take a lot longer. 

 

Alright thanks guys, In that case I guess I'll ad up the part cost based on what they all go used on eBay for. List the entire PC for the total for a week for or so and then if there is no luck I'll sell the parts individually.

Don't listen to any of them, it's worth $200 at most, and to save you the trouble of finding someone, I'll buy it for $250. Win - win. What more could you ask for?

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.
