Default What's my PC worth?

I'm trying to sell my PC, but I don't know how much to sell it for. I was thinking about $1300. It was about $900 for the parts and about $250 for the water cooling, so that equals $1150, and $1300 makes me a little profit. What are your thoughts guys?

Thanks,
Nate

I'm not too sure one would buy it at this price. Profit? Those are used parts...

Well, the computer is working perfectly fine, and I don't really want to sell it at a loss... Plus, it custom painted! Added bonus!

Hurm, why are you selling your rig man? You'll probably be better off breaking it down and selling the parts individually. That way you can set your own price for each part and maybe come off with a little profit if any. Oh, and don't forget that your CPU is lapped and also adds to the value.

The reason I want to sell it is to get a new rig. I'm getting bored with this one...

Spoken like a true enthusiast. In that case, I'd say keep the HDD, PSU, water cooling loop and opticals if you can't find someone to take the whole thing. Put the rest up for sell in your local newspaper, school, craigs list, ebay, flyers on the fence post, etc.
