Upgrading from an Alienware x51

[Gofspar]

So Im planing to pretty much sell my Alienware x51 as a bare bones system and then use the GPU, CPU, HDD and RAM in a new build, what do you think im going to get for a bare bones Alienware x51 system that has the 1155 socket motherboard and I have a 240w and 330w PSU and the case is in PERFECT condition?

 

Heres my current part list for the new build, everything that is $0 I already stripped from the system.

 

CPU Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core $0.00 CPU Cooler Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid $95.98 Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 $129.98 Memory Corsair XMS 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 $0.00 Storage Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM $0.00 Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Superclocked ACX $0.00 Case Corsair 450D ATX Mid Tower $99.99 Power Supply Corsair 650W ATX12V / EPS12V $104.99 Optical Drive LG GH24NSB0 DVD/CD Writer $0.00 Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) $0.00 Wireless Network Adapter Asus PCE-AC68 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PCI-Express x1 $96.99

If you could get a 980 that would be a perfect addition

 Corsair 650W ATX12V / EPS12V

Do not get an RM, please.

 

Get something better for the money like a Rosewill Capstone or EVGA NEX650G, or something better overall like a Seasonic G or EVGA 750G2

I already have a GTX 760 I installed on the x51 a year after I bought it, i'd like to keep it,

You would get a HUGE performance gain if you did.

I just don't have the cash for it, I still have no idea what people will pay for a x51 bare bone system, would make a bad ass HTPC system and I have no idea what the 240w and 330w PSU is worth, If i came up with the extra cash I'd probably get a 970. :L

My friend has a Supernova 750G2 and said it's amazing, thanks for the recommendation.

Ok, that'll be fine I guess

Yes and it's also a HUGE investment since he already has a 760 and he'd have to pay a lot on top of what it'd sell for to get a 980

 

No offense really, but I don't understand why everyone recommends a 970/980 for everything

[Gofspar]

So does anyone have a general idea what I can get on the bare bones system including the PSU's?

[Pugs501]

No offense really, but I don't understand why everyone recommends a 970/980 for everything

Because the 980 Outperforms the TitanZ

Until you throw Sony Vegas 12 or some CAD at it, then it falls right on its face.
