Hey guys,

Just looking for some price checks for a computer built with the following:

Processor: Intel i7-8700K (stock clocks)
GPU: Asus GTX 1080 8GB ROG Strix
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i v2
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z370-E
RAM: 16GB - 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 8GB LPX 3000mhz
Case: Corsair Crystal 570X RGB
Power Supply: EVGA 650W 80+ GOLD Semi
Case Fans: Corsair SP120 W x3

I was thinking about $1,600 to $1,800? just wanted to see if I was in the right ballpark
 
While it's a nice build I think that's asking too much personally. Typically, and I can only speak for myself, I'd find a ball park / average price online and cut it in half(ish) Keep in mind you're selling against Ryzen too.
 
That's too high for a used rig. Especially when I can build a new AMD R5-3600 with a Nvidia 2070 for similar price. Z boards are pretty BS these days consider even a B chipped AMD board is unlocked and allow overclocking.

Personally, start by 20% to 30% off the $1,600. But you may have better luck splitting out into different combos:
  • Mobo + CPU then optional add on for RAM and CPU cooler
  • GPU separately
  • Case and PSU separately or sell as combo
You can try your luck selling the chopped up combos at close to eBay prices. The lowest price (completed transactions) I found on eBay for 8700K went for $203 USD (about 55% of MSRP). A lot seem to be around $300 USD which is about $426 CAD. Considering a new R5-3600 + decent B450 board it almost the same price as a used CPU on eBay, that makes little sense especially when I can get a warranty and know the CPU was not OCed beforehand. The GTX 1080 is closer to RTX 2060 in performance so I think pricing it a close to retail 1660 Super seem reasonable. Case and PSU are something I usually reuse until they die kind of thing.

In this case, pricing is dependent on knowledge. If you're dealing with general public, then I think you can get away with eBay pricing. If you're dealing with people on this forum, they probably won't. Like CL and I pointed out, you're competing against new AMD prices that's only 10% to 15% slower in games but low 1% and 0.1% are above 60fps anyway. However, AMD is still faster in certain production software.

stub Right after we said that an AMD R3 CPU is “enough for gaming,” stealing the old Intel mantra from many generations ago, Intel decided to launch its 10-series CPUs. Intel calls this “10th Gen,” but in reality, it’s the nth Gen of a long-standing architecture. We’ve lost count at this point...

I appreciate it, thanks! I think I'm just going to keep this as a spare PC and build a new Z490 Mini ITX build (I do a lot of photo/video work and run software optimized for Intel CPUs) moving forward. Cheers!

Probably a good idea man... its tough to sell intel against ryzen... especially used intel stuff.
 
That's why I didn't bother selling my old i5-6400, just trade it with my friend for his old i5-750 + dinner. I then gave the i5-750 away to my little cousins that need a PC. Hell even the FX9370 that's collecting dust in my basement is probably close to give away pricing. Anyone that knows anything about PC hardware won't bother spending $250 on an old 4/6/7 gen combo. I seen some insane prices on old i7-2600 as well.
 
If you do want to sell, I definitely recommend parting. The main reason is the case and fans are worth a lot, but in a bundle with the rest you won’t get what they are worth. GPU would also we an easy solo part sell.
