Hmm hard to say... maybe 900ish? Its probably easier to sell the parts individually (more potential buyers). The CPU, Ram, SSD should bring pretty good money (close to retail price). Whereas the GPU, Mobo and PSU probably will go for around 50% of current value.

What "upgrade" are you trying to achieve? The build looks good to me, sell the part that you want to change and add some money then buy a better component rather than selling the whole rig. You'll be forced to buy weaker components if you sell the whole rig and like what Hans Christian said, expect 60% more or less of what you paid. Resort to selling the whole rig if you really need money or just want to downgrade and save some money because you think the rig is overkill for your needs.

Like the others said, why sell and upgrade? You got a good build. If you sell, you won't make enough to get better than what you have now.

I would just upgrade, you'd probably not get much for it..... Doing an upgrade provides much more value... And you only need to really upgrade the gpu+psu

CPU: i5-4690k GPU: 280x Toxic PSU: Coolermaster V750 Motherboard: Z97X-SOC RAM: Ripjaws 1x8 1600mhz Case: Corsair 750D HDD: WD Blue 1TB
