I'm not even sure you could get that. Maybe $100 for the board, CPU, and RAM. The GPU should be around another $50. After that don't really have anything left of value so $200 if you can find someone willing to buy the whole thing, or you might be stuck with the drives/case/PSU.

All this in USD in the USA. Not sure how good those parts are where you live. If those are considered "High end" then you might be able to get a lot more.

thanks for the reply and im not considered my pc as high end system. its a very low one. used it for media edit and some media work before. in my country our money is times 3.3 (x3.3) with us money, so if u guys said it be around $200 then i would sell it around 600/700 or maybe 1000. because the gpu is still new and the gpu's price is 370 when i the time i bought it. so if i want to sell it, maybe it would take 250 or 200. thanks guys :)

This is a common mistake that people make. When dealing with computer parts what you paid for it when you bought it doesn't matter. At all. That shiny GTX Titan people are spending $1,000USD on right now? Doesn't matter they spent that much 6yrs later. They will be lucky to get $50 for it. The performance of your part vs current parts is what matters. You may have paid 370 for that 7750, but if someone can go out and buy a new similar performing card for 150, guess what your used one is worth?
