Used hardware pricing question

[Rodneyg87]

So im building a new ryzen system come black friday/cyber Monday weekend which will leave me with my current system ready to part out what's left that I'm not reusing and my question is of the parts listed below what do y'all think a fair asking price would be? In my head I'm thinking somewhere along the $300 range.

 

I5-4690k

Msi sli krait edition mobo

Hyper 212 evo 

2x4gb kit of hyper x 1866 ram

Nzxt s340 white case

 

I know I did not list a full pc hence the lower price mentioned since I am reusing my current evga 750w g2 psu/1tb wd black hdd/and my recently obtained gigabyte 980ti oc edition that I snagged off a buddy of mine for $200. Just trying to see the communities opinion of what roughly the value of my older parts would be.

300 USD sounds good.

Thanks thats what I was thinking but you look at Craigslist and Facebook ads and pc parts are stupidly high and don't want to sit on these for to long after listing waiting to sell lol. I'm upgrading my current config and hoping to pull enough off the sale of these parts to pull off a nice 1440p monitor since my $950 budget is gonna be eat up by the ryzen 7 1700 upgrade and all its goodies.

drop in an I7 4790K instead man, better or the same game performance and a LOT cheper then getting a new motherboard, RAM and CPU. spend the rest of the money on a GPU or whatever

True but at the same time the theme I built this system with is getting old after looking at it for 2 years and unlike back when I built this system I'm not just gaming anymore. I'm in the middle of a bachelor's in computer programming and have made a jump into content creation on the side for extra cash so the new platform would actually suit me nicely. And to change the theme alone would result in needing a new mobo and ram and once you factor in the cost of that and a 4790k it's better to make the push to the newer platform.

sure if you use some program that has more use of 16 slower therads over 8 faster ones the R7 1700 can make a bunch of sense here but premier would render faster with the I7 4790K last time i checked. i just cant say i see any value in going from 4th gen Intel to Ryzen seeing as they have the same IPC and Ryzen clocks slower

Thats not the spirit though. Sure, I don't really need 16gb of ram, but why not get it? I had the money to blow and it's not exactly flushed down the toilet. 

Sure, a laptop would serve me fine, but I have a tower. 

Sometime you don't need a reason other then 'But I want to'.

yes lets have OP spend money on a CPU that will perform worse in a lot of cases while he could instead get say more RAM or a better GPU. buying Ryzen or even 7th gen Intel while you are on 4th gen Intel or newer makes no sense if you ask me because you will be blowing cash on minimal improvement. instead of that Ryzen system he could get a 1080 or a really nice screen or why not just a bathtub of icecream or something? the R5 1600 is a CPU i thought a while to upgrade too before i realized it would be a sidegrade more than an upgrade and honestly a downgrade from the at the time I5 4690K so instead of an expensive as hell Ryzen upgrade i bought an I7 4790K and saved me about €300 that were then spent on a watercooling loop among other things

Sure, that may be the better option, but OP already seems pretty determined to go for Ryzen or whatever since he wasn't asking for advice about that.

I look at it like this I am tired of looking at the same theme for the last 2 years and want something different without Jerry rigging my system. With its current setup its white with black accents. That I do not want so by the time I spend another $150 on a new mobo then another $80-100 on more ram and then another $340 on a 4790k and another $100-150 on a case I might as well have pushed for a newer platform. Now mind of the 950 I'm spending some is on a new 500gb ssd since I fried mine so in reality the money I am spending on the new platform is about what I would spend for 3 year old parts because I don't like buying used unless it's from someone I know like I did with my new 980ti
