Following are for sale - looking to sell them as a bundle:

1. Asus Sabertooth 990FX - AM3+ socket. This is the original version (NOT revision 2.0). Bought new in 2012 and only used occassionally. Includes box, SLI bridge connector (unused), I/O shield, 2 x Q-connectors (for front panel and and USB motherboard pin connectors).

2. AMD FX-8370 - Bought around 2012 on the Erodov forums. Supposedly from a hardware reviewer - don't believe it was sold here at that time (or possibly ever). Never overclocked. No heat-sink or fan included.

3. Corsair XMS3 DDR3 - 4 x 4 GB. Bought from a forum member here.

4. Sapphire Radeon HD 6770 - Bought new in 2012. Has DVI, HDMI, DP outputs.

Everything works fine - has done so for several years, with no known issues. No other accessories available, except what I have mentioned. Noctua D14 (shown in photos) is not included, nor is it for sale.

Will very much prefer a local buyer or someone who can arrange their own shipping. Will wait 10 days for such a buyer before deciding to ship on my own. As an enticement, will include a Athlon II CPU (if you desire a backup CPU) and a 1k discount for such buyers.

Have very little idea of market prices and based my pricing solely on recently sold Ebay listings for similar items. You are welcome to comment here or message me if pricing is off and if you think there is a fair reason to revise it.

Have had someone interested in buying the video card alone. Would split up the build if I could find a buyer for the CPU. And retain the board and memory, if unsold.

Never liked the CPU much - way too power-hungry and much too over-powered for my purposes (at the time). The motherboard has been solid throughout, though. Never got to use this as a regular machine, but have used the board as my test setup for the past few years, given the variety of I/O (ports and on-board connectors) available. Has both PCI and PCIe, as well as powered eSATA, Firewire, serial COM headers (full specs).

Also found the heatsink for the add-on Athlon II CPU which I'll include. No fan, though - found that also, but had modified the mount and wiring for something else.

A correction. The CPU was bought around 2015 (not 2012 as typed originally).
 
FX-8370 sold and pickup booked. Motherboard reserved.

HD 6770 - 2k plus shipping.
XMS3 4 x 4 GB - 2k plus shipping.
 
HD 6770 and XMS3 (4 x 4 GB) - both for 3.5k shipped, now.

FX-8370 delivered last week. Motherboard sold and shipment picked up. Both paid for, in full.

Board received yesterday evening after some shenanigans by the courier people.

Received the original box along with excellent packaging and what is basically a new / unused looking board..
All accessories including Q Connectors , SLI bridge IO shield , mounting hardware and a new CR2032 spare !
Also included was the Athlon II processor.

Board tested all okay today.

Have left +ve feedback.

Thanks @codelad :)

HD 6770 and XMS3 (4 x 4GB) - Open to trades on these as well, preferably for a openwrt-compatible router, decent wireless mouse or a 4TB HDD. Please do make an offer if you have anything else interesting (only computer, networking hardware, please).

On the 990FX - Thank you so much @Tobikage for being calm and patient through the courier process rigged with false status updates beginning till the end.
