[Price Check] Pondering the idea of selling my PC...

My current PC is about 1.5-years old. I built it for serious gaming in mind, however, with school starting, and my lack of interest in PC gaming, I feel I could benefit more from selling this machine and getting a laptop instead. Keep in my mind this computer was overlocked for a few months (3.2 Ghz to ~3.8 Ghz - stable). I didn't really utilize this computer to it's max potential I feel and because I wasn't utilizing it (internet browsing, media playback, CD/DVD creation, easy stuff), I defaulted everything back to stock settings.

Current Parts(same parts since the day I built this machine)

Motherboard: Asus Crosshair IV Formula
CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 - Black Edition
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB x 2 (total of 16GB in PC)
Power Supply: Corsair HX1000
GFX: MSi GTX560Ti Twin Frozr II x 2 (SLI mode enabled with HyperSLI application)
Storage: OCZ Vertex3 120GB + 500GB WD Black Caviar
Sound: Onboard
Network: Onboard
Optical: Asus Dual Layer CD/DVD Burner
Mouse: Razr DeathAdder
Keyboard: Razr BlackWidow Mechanical
Monitor: ViewSonic 24” LCD-LED Panel 1080p
Case: Antec v3 1200 (Awesome cable management)

If I missed anything, please do let me know and I can alter anything in the list. Like I said, I played GW2 for 2-months or so. I did some light gaming with Just Cause 2. I messed around with a few benchmarks when I first put this machine together. No parts have ever been RMA’d. I clean out dust every month or so (front panel dust collector mesh, as well as the inside). I replace thermal paste under the heatsink of the CPU every 6-months or so. All of my components have been treated with utmost care (that goes for all of my builds in the past, I’m a very organized/clean person – thanks a lot OCD). I’m just looking to see what types of prices I can bounce around should I ultimately decide to sell this PC. Thank you very much for any and all responses.

My best guess is around $700-$800 for everything.

$900 for everything. You have nice peripherals (KB/M/monitor) and dual GPUs.

It's used... Computers depreciate faster then just about anything else I know...

It's nice stuff, but it's used nice stuff.

Probably not what you want to hear, but I'd take the first offer over $500 and run. $400 if you're going to keep the monitor.

Sorry.

People on craig's list would pay $900 or maybe more for it, they be dumb.

That answer doesn't hurt at all, it's pretty much expected. It's not a sure thing that I'll get rid of it, and I'm sure the longer I wait the more the value depreciates. Thanks all for the responses thus far!
