Hi,

I am wondering what a good price point would be for this whole system. I'm hoping for around R15k. But need a sanity check. Much appreciated. System is about 4-5 years old now all components purchased new, internals are in good condition. GPU is the newest component with upgrade happening about a year after first build.

Just looking at the parts list, I think your idea of R15k is wishful in the extreme...

Without pricing up each individual component, my gut feel is a price closer to R10k is more realistic.
 
Look at prices for the individual components on Carbonite to get an idea of what they are worth.

This does seem more realistic, the 8 series wasn't great, the 1070ti was good but it's old now and it'll will show
