How much is my rig worth?

    Hi,
    I'm thinking of selling my gaming rig and am wondering what it would be worth and would it sell in good time? if not I'll keep it.

    I built it primarily for use with flight simulator and x-plane during flight training and now that I'm finished I don't really need it and am saving for a motorcycle so could do with the extra cash!

    Specs:
    Case: Corsair 500r (White)
    Mobo: Asus P8Z77 V
    CPU: i5 3570k
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 4x4GB
    SSD: Samsung 830 128GB
    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
    PSU: Corsair AX 750
    Graphics Card: Asus GTX 660ti OC

    *Possible Optional Extras:

    X-plane 10

    Saitek Pro Flight Yoke + Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals

    Saitek Cyborg v7 keyboard

    Mad Katz Rat Mouse V.5

    LG 32" HD TV for use as monitor (unsure of price as of yet but may do a nice deal with Rig)

    *(Possible optional extras could be included if they would significantly increase value)

    Would appreciate any realistic estimates, input or advice. Thanks!

    About €800 would be a reasonable asking price for the pc. I wouldn't accept anything less than €700.

    I'd sell the extras separately.

    Thanks for the input BloodBath, €800 is around what I was expecting. Needed a second opinion though, cheers

    Haha f#%@ing tom cruise :D

    You racing fighter jets on that bike.

    Yup 800 nice rig. Solid all around, case ,CPU ,Gpu, mobo me likely. Good part picking. Overclocked?

    If you're putting it on adverts I'd probably set the asking price to €900 as people don't seem to like fair pricing up there.

    You might get €750-800 then.

    Cheers, I put a serious amount of thought and research in when selecting the parts alright. No overclocking, I dunno if I'd have the extent of tech knowledge required to overclock without making a balls of it!

    Yeh cool, thanks. I figure whatever I put it up for, I'll end up having to let it down a little.

    Hi what price would you be looking for the rudder pedals and flight yoke?

    As blood said 900 expecting to come down. Make sure you put "never overclocked" as this for me personally is a selling point not to be overlooked.

    I'm not yet sure if they will be sold, if I decide to put the rig up for sale then I will be selling them. I'll be sure to let you know directly. This will be decided in the coming days.

    I forgot to add that I also put in a load of corsair fans aswell when building it. 1 X AF140, 2 X AF120 and 2 X SP120.
    Also Removed the large side fan and grill and replaced with Acrylic window, but still have both grill and fan that will go with it if I sell it. Also added a card reader for SD, Micro SD etc...
