Thanks for the comments, guys. There's some really good input here...
One thing to mention is that I bought the retail box processor, not the OEM one. I think tigerdirect.ca has the retail box listed for 709.99 right now, but I realize they're not the best price around.
Anyway, I've been silently reading these posts and putting some thought into everything. I like the concept of parting everything out individually, but I don't have an ebay account, and trying to sell this stuff with 0 feedback rating would be pointless. Also, I need to switch to a laptop asap and, since I put so much into building this PC, I literally have to rely on selling this first before I can afford the switch.
So, having said all of that, and having taken everything into consideration... I've decided to lower the sale price to $1200.00 (and it still includes the speakers).
It sucks to have to take as much of a loss as I am on this but, ultimately, I should have been a little smarter in January and just bought a laptop in the first place.
Thanks again!
