I'm looking to sell my PC, with or without the GPU, and upgrade to a new AMD Ryzen CPU with more cores for work purposes. Just posting this to see if there's interest before I upgrade. I am not selling the GPU separately at the moment, as I want to sell the whole PC. If someone wants the PC without the GPU, then I will consider selling the GPU separately.
Items:
CPU - Intel i7 8700 (non-K)
Motherboard - MSI Z370 Tomahawk
Memory - 16GB (2x8GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2400 MHz DDR4
CPU cooler - Noctua NH-D15, including the two original NF-A15 140mm fans
Power supply - EVGA SUPERNOVA G2 750W
Case - Corsair Carbide 270R (with a window in one side)
Case fans - Three Corsair ML140 Pro PWN fans and one Corsair ML120 Pro PWN fan, including a fan plug extension header.
Graphics card (optional) - GTX 1660 Super MSI Gaming X
NO STORAGE INCLUDED (so no SSD or HDD).
The motherboard is digitally registered for Windows 10 Pro. If you skip entering the activation key when installing windows it will automatically activate (I've tested this across multiple windows installations on this PC). (Not true anymore, see the edit message at the end of the post)
Power cord and all psu cabling included.
Extra little pieces for all items included in each item's original packaging, if you want it.
Age:
Graphics card - 11 months, purchased 2020/05/13 from titan-ice. It's essentially new though, because I only used it for 3 or so months as it was an interim card after my old one died.
Everything except the graphics card and CPU cooler - 3 years, purchased 2018/01/09 from evetech and rebeltech (RIP).
CPU cooler - approx. 8 years, can't remember exactly when I got it. It's a beast of an air cooler, only reason I'm selling it is because I'm getting a water cooler.
Price:
R8 000 without the graphics card.
R14 000 with the graphics card (R6000 extra).
Warranty: I have original PoP for all items expect the CPU cooler, but I think they're all out of warranty anyway except for the Graphics card. It's got 1 month left assuming an original 1 year warranty.
Packaging: Original packaging for everything except the CPU cooler.
Condition: Everything is in excellent condition, except for the following:
The case window is very lightly scratched (the type you get after wiping it, nothing you can really do to prevent this).
One of the front fans makes a sound, so I've disabled it. You can also disable it using MSI command centre software, try to fix it if you want to (it sounds like one of the blades is hitting something, but I haven't been able to identify what) or just buy a new one for around R400. Up to you.
Location: Pretoria
Reason: Upgrading to a new RYZEN CPU and decided to just do everything in one go since I need a new MB and memory anyway.
Shipping: Sure, at the cost and risk of the buyer (when it leaves my hands, I have no responsibility for what happens). I can send as one unit inside the case's original box (including standard polystyrene supports) or I can place each item in its original packing. Up to how many boxes you want to receive/pay for.
Collection: Yes, location TBD via PM.

I've taken a very hasty picture of the PC, see below. I can take more pictures on request in PMs for those wanting to buy. Please ignore the Graphics card in there, it's not the 1660 Super. I've added a separate picture of the card.
Edit: The original statement about windows being tied to the motherboard is wrong. Apologies. It's now tied to a person's microsoft account and I wasn't aware of this change.
