Resell value of my PC

[SQZY98]

Hi, I'm currently playing with the idea of selling my current build. Though, I really don't know how to estimate the price for this. I previously owned a ATX build from which I transfered over the CPU and PSU as well as the storage and RAM which were bought in December of 2014. The rest of the stuff was purchased in the second half of 2016. Hardware has not been overclocked (sorry).

Main components:
Case: Parvum S2.5 mATX
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k
GPU: EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0
RAM: HyperX Fury 4x4GB DDR3 1866MHz
Motherboard: Asus Z97 Gryphon mATX
PSU: bequiet! Straight Power 10 550W (semi-modular)

Watercooling components:
CPU-Block: EK-Supremacy EVO - Acetal+Nickel
GPU-Block: EK-FC980 GTX - Acetal
GPU-Backplate: EK-FC980 GTX Backplate - Black Nickel Black
Reservoir: Bitspower Water Tank Z-Multi 150mm clear
Reservoir mount: Singularity Computers CORE SINGLE V3
Radiators: 2x EK-CoolStream SE 240 26mm
D5 Pump: EK
D5 Pump top: Bitspower Premium D5 mod kit
Fans: 4x Noiseblocker Blacksilent PRO PL-PS
Fan splitter: ModMyToys 4x 4-pin PWM
Fittings: Alphacool HT 13mm HardTube - knurled - deep black
Tubing: Alphacool Eisrohr 13/10mm satin
Fluid: Mayhems Clear mixed with emerald green and dark blue dye

 

Miscellaneous:
Sleeving: MDPC-X black & Shakmods "dark green" expandable 4mm sleeve
RAM "cooler": XSPC Universal heatsink

 

The motherboard has a custom cnc'd acrylic cover on top and is vinyl wrapped. The case is a one-off design from Parvum. All of this with about 50 hours of work to put it together, sleeve the cables and bend the tubes.

Rough estimation of material value is about 2500€, I think.

 

What would you place the price at? I'll have to admit that the hardware has aged a bit.

With all those extra I would say over €1000 - maybe around €1500? I'm no expert though.

 

Personally in the UK I would put it at £900-£1200, although that may change depending on your country and how popular similar PCs are.

Probably try it with what you paid for for the components excluding water cooling components. Hard to estimate, depends on whether the buyer appreciates your work you put into it or not.

Other way to start is trying to figure out the grand total of what you paid for it and then shave 25 to 50% off or look for similar specced systems used and slap a sum on top of the average for your custom work

[slightlyjaded]

Like a modified car...Whatever someone's willing to pay for it.

 

If you can find an enthusiast that wants a very good but superceded system you could easily get 2000 AUD for it especially with all the watercooling. For anyone else it just wouldn't be worth more than 1000.

I'd say put it for auction but ebay sucks for that kind of thing now.... so I'd say a mid range of about 1200 "currency"

[stealth80]

that's a nice looking build, I recently sold my 4790k, 32gb ram and Asus Z97 Ranger board for around £450. You should be good for around £1000 imo, the problem is that 980 has dropped a tonne cause of pascal and a 1060 6gb offering similar performance and of course water cooling is still niche, but I think anyone that knows what theyre looking for knows the value of a custom loop

[MVPernula]

Like most here I'd put it around the 900-1300 euro range, since you're from Germany

 

The 980 is getting older, but is still agood 1080p GPU.

Your i7 is of the older generation but is definetly still considered high-end.

Combine that with the rest, watercooling, sleeved cables and all that and you get some cash.

 

Might even get more than 1300 euro

As many people said already, you can freely ask $1500 for this bad boy. But, as @Linksys120n mentioned, put it for auction and you can get much more. Also, it will bring new clients to you. Gl!

id say a grand atleast , so asking 1250 obo will be fine

That is beautiful, has a mad scientist vibe about it.

I'd say about maybe 1000- near 2000? Idek But those pictures look high quality af.

True, the GPU definitely decreased a lot in value, but it would be an easy replacement if needed. I might put it up on ebay or some sort to see whether there is any interest at all in this. After all this build means something to me and I don't want to give it away cheaper as needed. Thank you for your answers
