Estimating the Value of My Almost 5-Year-Old Gaming PC

As I contemplate parting ways with my trusted gaming rig, I find myself curious about its current market value. It’s been nearly five years since I assembled this machine, and it still delivers impressive performance. Here’s a breakdown of my setup:

Specifications

• Case: be quiet! Pure Base 500DX
• Processor: Intel Core i7-10700K
• CPU Cooler: be Quiet! Dark Rock 4 Pro
• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming Mainboard
• Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 ROG Strix O10G
• Storage: 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 2280 PCIe
• RAM: 32GB (2x 16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200
• Power Supply: be Quiet! Straight Power 11 PC ATX 850W
• Extras: Upgraded fans to be quiet! Silent Wings 3 for enhanced cooling and low noise levels

Given the specifications, I am looking for insights into what potential buyers might be willing to pay. The components are a mix of high-end parts that were top-of-the-line at the time of purchase, particularly the graphics card which is still sought after for gaming and creative tasks.
