Help selling my gaming PC.

I'm starting graphic design college early next year and I need a new computer. A mac specifically. I originally built this PC when I was heavily into gaming. I no longer game and I feel my PC is a bit overkill for the work I am doing on it. I'm switching to Mac because the school specifies it, and there are exclusive programs like Sketch which is a industry standard software. Generally there are a lot of exclusive software and functionality that I find useful.  

 

I'm looking at selling my PC soon, I just need a hand in regards to pricing, selling and information to give or not to give the buyer.

CASE: Corsair Carbide Air540 

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Hero Z170

Maybe a hackingtosh?

I've considered it, but I'm looking for the simplicity of a Mac as well. I don't like spending my time troubleshooting or building PCs anymore,I'd rather just use the money towards a Mac. I was considering buying a used Mac Pro and upgrading it, but again, for the time being I want to go for the straight forward option. So if any technical difficulties arise, I can just leave Apple to do the troubleshooting whilst I continue my work.

You would be better off dismantling your computer and selling the components at Ebay.
