Back Story: I live in the mid-west, not sure if that has an impact regionally or not but beginning there. I have a 10 month old beautiful baby boy and leading up to his birth I assumed I would have less time to game and excepted that, however I didn't realise how much I would lose interest in gaming and want to spend more time on hobbies that I could possibly share with him. (Not that can't with gaming, but I tend to play immersive RPGs in which I don't tend to be social during or want to be social during) I am wanting to purchase a piano and would like to replace the area in my office with it. So easy choice to just sell it and move on, but I put a lot of time and money into it and I heard electronic can be a pain in the butt to get what you paid for, but would like to try. Not in a rush to sell it or do I need the money in any sort of short time frame really opens my options and would like to hear any ideas on what I should do, Craiglist whole? Ebay? Piece it out? (Dont really want to that much effort into it and would gladly take a larger loss to sell it whole). I will probably copy and paste this into more specific places like r/PCMasterrace or somewhere else when I have more time. Also for what I have been playing mostly (nerd alert) is OSRS and POE both of which run perfectly fine on my laptop.

Setup :
Acer XG270HU (2560x1440) 144HZ Monitor
Red Dragon M801 16400 DPI Mouse (RGB + Removable Weights)
Corsair K68 (MX Cherry)
Windows 10 Prof + Key

Rig :
i7 8600k 6C
Asrock Z370 Pro 4
16 GB (2x 8 BG) DDR4-3000 Ram
256 GB m.2 SSD
1 TB HDD
SeaSonic 550w 80+ Gold PS
EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 TI FTW3 11GB
BR/CD/DVD Read/Write
Cryorig H7
X-Mirage White (Case)

I have all of the original receipts/invoice and purchased everything from Feb 4-28th (Not sure if necessary for manufacture warranties or something.)
I have all of install drives (the cds) for everything (however I plan on just selling it as a clean boot-up with windows 10 64 activated and drivers updated.)

What do you guys think? Where should I try to sell it, what can I expect to get out of it?
I think I paid around 2600~ after taxes for everything and full retail is a bit more.
I was hoping to get around 75-80% out of it to help a little bit with the piano, is there something more realistic?
Any sources to any information would get a nice tip for your help as well.
Also would largely tip if anyone else (with proof) has successful sold something like this for what I want out of it or more.

I would ask $1800 but be willing to take as low as $1500. So about 60-70% which is a bit more realistic imo.

You'd pull in more splitting the GFX card on ebay and selling the system with an older gfx card on craigslist as a gaming rig for 1k or more (+600-800 you get from GFX on ebay)

Safe bet for the majority of things is 40 - 60 cents on the dollar if everything is relevant and in good working order.
