Sounds like a nice rig m8, I wouldn't despair.
It really is the nature of top-end PC hardware that what it is worth to sell second-hand drops dramatically (same with a lot of modern kit, like cars). However, if you had the same money now to buy a new rig I bet you wouldn't change much. After all - the true value of the system is what it is worth to you, and if it plays everything you throw at it well then you are on to a winner.
If you look at the steam hardware survey I bet your hardware is in the top 10% of steam gamers.
Your 5770s (plural - nice) issue sounds odd. Is it like this in other games too? If its faulty then you would be well within your rights to get a warranty replacement.
Is that a 1080p TV you are rocking there? The 25" monitors do look like a good deal - but these are pretty much bog-standard TN panels. A £400 HDTV should be giving you nicer image quality, a great sense of immersion and not bring your graphics cards to their knees with a 5760x1080 resolution.
The ASUS Palm board is an excellent mobo - the £120 deal may have dented the resale price, but it doesn't stop it being a high-quality, solid overclocking board with nice PCIe spacing for CF/SLI.
All-in-all, looks like you have a really nice system. When you can get the 5770/WoW issue fixed I bet your enjoyment of your rig will be increased considerably.
