Moving to Ryzen, looking to price my rig.

Big Head Tech

So I am looking at my next project, so I am listing my PC for sale.  I have it listed for $1500 OBO hoping to get at least $1200.  I looked on CL to see what each part is pulling separate and it is around $1400-1500.  I always start high and work my way down!  But $1200 should be reasonable given that the PC cost way over 2k when I built it.  Below are the specs:

 

I7-4790k 4.5GHz @ 1.225V

NZXT Kraken x60

2x8GB DDR3 1600MHz Kingston Hyper X Memory

EVGA Z97 FTW Motherboard

EVGA Geforce GTX 980 TI SSC

Corsair Air 540

3x120MM Cougar Hydraulic Bearing Red LED Fans

3x140MM Cougar Hydraulic Bearing Red LED Fans

Crucial MX100 512GB SSD or 240GB Muskin SSD+1TB HDD

DVD-RW
Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit (Legitimate Key) fresh reload

Acer 1080p Display (TN)

Coolermaster LED keyboard/mouse (membrane)

part it out and sell it 

Very difficult to sell many of the smaller stuff separate.

Before even trying to sell your rig, which is still quite powerful, you should wait and see whether Zen actually performs better enough to warrant selling a whole PC for. Honestly a 4790K is still a great CPU today (delid it for more clocks :D), and Zen is unlikely to bring something worlds better for gaming. Maybe a bit better.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

I generally sell and build every 2 years.  I've built hundreds of PC's and sold them.  I plan on being an early adopter, doing some videos and such on YT.

Instead of selling the small stuff, why not sell only the parts that sell well? Like the 980 Ti for $320, the 4790K / mobo, and the RAM. Keep the rest for the new rig.

 

Even then I don't advise it :P

I'd say that's a fair price. That's a high end gpu and an overclockable i7 so it is definitely worth that much.

Plan on redoing everything.  Different case, 1TB NVME SSD, etc.

Idk. if someone wants a pre built pc this would be a very compelling option.

Since you're adamant, I think about $1100-$1200 is fair for the whole thing.

Most people aren't too keen on buying a custom pc, I know losts of people happy to buy a used part or two, but at a certain point they would rather spend a bit more for a new part with a warranty. Just my opinion, but parting it out will likely go quicker and easier
