Help or tips for pricing a used gaming PC

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HD4zDx My PC itself is good condition, all parts work optimum with no errors or faults. But I am wanting to upgrade this year, and I want to sell my old PC and put the money towards a new build. I took the price of which I paid for my PC and took 70% off due to it being three years, my estimated price ($800-1000)  . I am just looking for any tips for pricing it, or someone else's opinion on it. 

 

PC I'm looking to build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Gp47L2

I might switch the 2080 Super for a 3080 depending on the release date and price.

Look at eBay and other local selling platforms and see what similar PCs are selling for. Also consider what @BlueScope819 said and maybe sell one gpu by itself. 
 

I would wait until new ryzen CPUs and ampere and big Navi GPUs are out to get a new pc though. That said, any reason why you went intel over ryzen?

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

You put the last pieces of tech in there, you will have no problem anyway. Also I think you have massive overkilled it with all those fans, and I have never payed that high for win10... Always was an 5€ for me

I like Intel and Amd, either one works for me. I would get the Ryzen 7 3800xt instead of the i7-10700k. I've debated on both of them, but there is a slight edge in performance while gaming using Intel, Amd does do a better job at multitasking though. I went with Intel because I intend on using the PC for mostly gaming,

It gives a slight bump in gaming performance but loses completely in price to performance. If you can wait a few months, do and don’t bother making a list now.

The problem is you've got some weak points in this build, where you're not going to get any return on investment, namely the dual GPU config. Who knows, maybe the right buyer might give you $800, but that would be a stretch. I could build a better PC new right now for $1000.
