Hi all, I'll have a gaming PC coming for sale as I have just upgraded.

Auckland based. Pickup much preferred.

Thinking of selling it with my RTX3080 to fund a GPU upgrade.

Here are the specs:

CPU: Core i7 8700K

GPU: EVGA RTX3080 XC3

Mobo: Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC)

RAM: 32G G.Skill F4-3200C16-8GTZR DDR4 (4x8G)

Case: NZXT H500i

Cooling: Kraken X62 AIO Liquid Cooling

Storage: 500GB Samsung SSD EVO Plus

Price: I'm completely out of the loop for this. Is $2000 too much?

Yeah I think you're pretty high on that pricing.

My back of an envelope is always "cheapest new rough equivalent price multiplied by 0.7"

You can get a 4070 for $1100, so the 3080 is worth roughly $800

The 8700k was decent in it's time, but it's now 5 generations old and outperformed by the last generation entry level 12100F, excluding the GPU I'd say the PC is worth $700 if you're lucky.

Legend, thank you @Lias!

So sounds like $1500 would be about right for the full PC, yeah...

Anyone keen? (will be taking proper pics and throwing on TM/FB in the next couple of days.)

Cheers!

Saw this a few weeks back, thought that would be nice, but can't justify until existing PC gives up.

Last Friday PC gives up

Checked trademe and was gone :(

Tried to tell partner that the lesson from this was I should just buy any nice things I want because I might need them, she remained unswayed.
