CPU: worth approximately $160
CPU Cooler: worth approximately $60
Motherboard: Really depends which ones - all 780i boards are absolute @£!*! though, so bear in mind the cost of replacing this when you buy the PC.
RAM: Assuming that's DDR2 1200, not DDR3, it could be either, worth about $70 if DDR2. Also consider that overclocked OCZ RAM can be unreliable.
Graphics cards: Very old and slow by modern standards, worth about $140 for the three.
Hard drive: worth about $75. Check the version, if it's the new 7200.12 it is also likely to be unreliable.
DVD drive: worth about $20
PSU: worth about $150 - but completely unnecessary, that PC only really uses about 600-650W total, and if you used more modern graphics cards, you could get the same performance with only 300-350W used.
Case: worth about $70 depending on condition
Operating systems and software only worth money if they are legal copies.
Unless you can verify the authenticity of the software, the PC is worth roughly $850, but seriously, you're better off going elsewhere, that's not a very well thought out PC, you can do much better yourself - just ask us, we'll gladly guide you through making a PC much better than his for that sort of money.

Oh, that's a bit out of my price range...I was hoping something within the 300-450$ range, but even with my knowledge I know a good system at that price is few and far between.
Thanks for the reply though. I guess I'll just have to keep looking.

You can't buy any gaming pc for less than $450, let alone a good one.

Well, I'll be hoping to be the first one to accomplish this.

You think people haven't tried? Seriously, it can't be done.

Lol, that's true. Someone who built a PC with components like that may genuinely have no idea how much it's worth....

Good luck, and remember, don't be afraid to haggle.
