These pictures are 7/8 weeks old.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-6700K 4 GHz Quad-Core Processor - 8 MB- Currently £280 retail
Scandisk 250+ ssd- Currently above £100 retail
2 x Asus GeForce GTX 1050 ROG STRIX OC GAMING 2GB Currently above £100 each retail
Asus motherboard- currently around retail £200
If you were to build the pc as new it would be roughly around £800 excluding the case and all the other stuff. So i have lost about £500 in less then one year according to the current prices.
It has genuine windows 10.
I have all the boxes of all the components in mint condition in the attic.
The monitor stand I paid around £150.
If anyone is interested let me know. I will be prepared to accept an offer of at least £600. I think thats a really fair price I know retail is different to second hand but all together everything was over a £2,000 expense for me. Id like to see it go to a good home and am offering it at what I think is a fair price.
I did say I would throw in the chair but my new one now doesn't arrive for another 2 weeks so if anyone is happy to wait they are more then welcome to it.

If you don't have any satisfactory offers, look at stripping it and selling the parts individually on ebay or amazon. Maybe keep it as a backup/upgrade and sell on project.
The i7-6700k: One of the best multi task performing cpu's on the market for sensible money.
Scandisk SSD: Very reliable in my experience, only reason I changed was because of a whole new build.
2 X GTX 1050 ROG Strix 2GB: I think 2 medium cards is way more of a drawback than 1 very good card. Also the ROG Strix brands (Aimed at gamers..ie..Republic Of Gamers!) are very much overpriced, the performance vs regular cards is very very minimal unless you're doing crazy usage like video rendering for hours per day.
Asus motherboard: Depends on which one, number of Sata ports, Sata 2, sh!t like that.
Not mentioned was the amount of memory or what type is installed!
At a guess I'd say not enough
More or maxing out your motherboards memory capacity is the easiest, and cheapest way to speed up any PC!
Also not mentioned, the cooler on the CPU. The regular cooler on an I7 can be insufficient if it's a stock one, or "supplier installed" one. On my build I found my fans were running way too loud even at idle load, I researched a heap of them, and got a Noctua DH-14. Regular cooler is about 3inches * 3 inches, this thing is a monster! Does the job though, rarely over 40C, at the moment I've Rust (a game) in the background at max graphics and I'm at CPU 24C, motherboard 20C.
As it turned out, when I went to change the fan from "supplier installed" to my Noctua one, the supplier had left a drip of thermal paste on the cooler instead of a regular even spread. Amateurs
Been meaning to make a new post since Christmas about my new build, I'll get around to it soon

Thank you for the info.
I am in no hurry to sell or any need. It's just taking up room that's all and thought best place to advertise is here.
I thought about using it as a house hold pc but me and the missus both have laptops and after sitting at my desk most days I would never go and load another pc at another desk.
I am not a techie at all and I learned a about a month ago when I was streaming racing uk through it how my laptop streams tv pictures better then my pc. Never had a problem using it with trading and it is extremely quick. Could probably do with some better graphics cards.
