I am thinking it's time to build a new gaming machine. Just curious what I could sell my old hardware for?

EVGA X58 Classified
Intel i7-970
Crucial Ballistix 12GB DDR3 1600
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB x 2
 
$500ish?

Id rock that platform today as well but with one gpu, not two. Chances are, especially with a titan setup, there is performance being left on the table.
 
I hear you guys. My issue is that this motherboard has that crappy Marvel controller so I can't get the full potential out of my SSD. I would have to dig up my bench tests but it was about 60% of what I should been getting. I run a 30" Dell Ultra sharp @ 2560 x 1600 as well. If I keep this setup I would at least unload the GPU's and get a single card, to start with. Thoughts? Maybe I am just dwelling on my disappointment with S3 speeds.
 
Not sure how I would have missed that, but it's not out of the question. I looked into hardware solutions too, but it looked like the overhead was going to nullify any potential gains.
