    Jesus, your new rig would be an absolute animal if you're willing to take such a massive loss on your 'old' PC! Because it's an enthusiast build, unfortunately you will be taking a hefty loss on what you paid - most people don't appreciate or care for the high-end motherboard, high-end power supply, custom sleeving, dedicated sound card, etc and so they don't factor in these things in their offers.

    Personally, I would have taken out the PSU for re-use with your new build and replaced it with a basic 430w €35 model, taken out and re-used or separately sold the X-Fi, sell one GTX980 separately, and put up the rest for around 800-900 and see what happens.

    Obviously a pointless comment now but if you'd just sold both GTX980's it would have largely covered a GTX1080 and you'd be set for all things gaming/VR.

    Sound advice the, what would I put a 980 up for? I have another i7 3820 machine. I will remove the sound card I think and sell. I have removed on SSD. Mostly I was downsizing the rig, gone 6800k and 1080

    I am sorry now, but where would be the fun in that ;)
