Question About Hardware Value.

[LinkOneThree]

Hello All,
I am new to this forum but I wanted to sign up because I had a question I was hoping fellow enthusiasts would be able to answer.

I recently built my dream PC but soon after realized it was probably more than I needed . I am now looking to re-sell and I was hoping to get an opinion on what others would value it at and if I built something worthy of attention?

here are my specs:

Case: Corsair Obsidian Series® 900D Super Tower Case

Powered by: Corsair : HX Series HX1050 Power Supply -- 1050 Watt 80 PLUS® Gold
Certified Modular PSU

Cooling: Cooled by a total of 9 fans! and Corsair :Hydro Seriesâ„¢ H110 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

CPU: Intel Core i7 Processor

Motherboard: Z87 Sabretooth Motherboard.

Video Card: Gigabyte- GE Force GTX 770.

Memory : 250 GB Samsung PRO Solid State Drive.

RAM: Corsair 2x8 GB sticks of RAM.

Operating System: Windows 8.

Blu Ray burner installed.


Thank You!

What version of the i7 is that do you know, Otherwise it looks to be solid gaming rig. I'd say about $900 up.

How much did you pay for it? When did you build it?

More than I'd like to admit lol!
I'd say total project was about $3000
$500 case
$300 motherboard
$350 processor
$350 video cards
$250 solid state
$150 cooling
$150 power supply
$100 for blu ray

Plus countless hours of frustration
I had to take it apart a few times because I got defective motherboard the first time

When did you build it?
What version of the i7 do you have?

You might try installing a program called Speccy and posting a screenshot (or listing the parts) from that.

I'll do that when I get home later

Thanks!

The processor is an
Inter core i7 -4770k LGA1150

Whilst I'm not saying that the items in particular are never worth buying I would insist that there are only very very few people out there that see the value in a $500 case for example.
Most people would look at that build and only pay any real attention to:

$300 motherboard
$350 processor
$350 video cards
$250 solid state

A few will be concerned with the power supply but the other items:

$500 case
$100 for blu ray
$150 cooling

Is money that you invest in for your own piece of mind and generally money that you lose when you sell the equipment on.

Dam that's my dream case but it so expensive

I could see someone paying 2 grand for that rig maybe a bit more. Its well built with clean cable management and some good parts. It's also very lightly used. I recommend you put in some lighting strips. A 20 dollar investment towards aesthetics could get you a better price. Why not just keep it though? Its nice and will last you forever. So easy to upgrade and all that.
