The Mboard is cheap, the msi card I wouldnt buy,
cases are irelivant, but all in all without a windows code,
and ignoring un matched ram, 50% of the parts list,-some because it was assembled by some pillocks.
Say £275. ($380?) I would thro that psu in the recycle bin.
Oh, wait . add $100 for the storage.
Yer, if they will take it in one go $480.

Using current components and unused, I'd probably ask for 10% to 20% over cost.
Current components, used, I'd probably look for about 80% of cost; less if over six months old.
Older components, like you have, I'd probably look for about 70% of cost; and again, less if over six months old.

The Question posed is very pertinent. It asks how much would you sell it for? This assumes you have a buyer waiting on your price; there isnt one we have been informed of.
If you were to advertise it at a 'fair' price you would be waiting a long long time; This site is all about building your own using quality parts, not the crap pre builders use. There are too many options. I wouldnt buy an msi gpu card, or use an asrock Mainboard (tho they seem ok now).
This system has already suffered the loss of one kingston dimm, which would cause me to ponder. Those quoting towards a $grand may ask what would they pay for it? Its the only way you would get a sale. The market prooves you would do better to break it up for spares; there is a bigger 'want' for individual components.
