Recently built myself a nice shiny new rig, much smaller than my old one. So now I'm looking to sell my old one as it's pretty much complete, but I kept the GTX 1070 for my new rig 
Spec:
3930K @ 4.5GHz w/ Corsair H100 (their very first model) with a couple of SP120 quiets.
Asus Rampage IV Extreme
32GB DDR3 I forget the speed, but it's not important.
Corsair AX850 psu
Coolermaster HAF X case
assortment of HDDs, 1TB Velociraptor (superfast mechanical 220MB/s), 2TB WD green slow drive, 60GB SSD
As for GPU, I have a few old ones knocking around. Nothing really suitable for gaming (GTX 460, or Radeon HD 6870) but I would complete the system so it's complete and able to power on and work as a PC.
Alternatively, I can break it and sell individual components, but I don't know how much of a market there is for 5-6 year old X79 gear. And old cases NEVER sell, so scrap value (17KG of steel).
So, any ideas on my best option? Flog it as is? Stick in an old GPU to complete it? Break it up?
