If you can give me an estimate that would be great! Thank you!

How long ago? Values plummet fast on used computer gear.

The systems below are sold listings at auction. Not just what people hope to get, what they actually sell for. Premium Buy it Now prices only work for big resellers not individuals and may sit there for months before selling. Someone buying from Craigslist has zero protection if the computer dies when they get it home and pay accordingly. Which usually comes out the same as eBay (once you factor in shipping and seller fees 15%).

A used i5-6400 acer with a GTX 970, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 and 802.11ac can be had for around $430 on eBay. This is a name brand computer. Which increases buyer...
When it comes to old parts. The whole is not equal to the sum of the parts. I'd value it between $300 and $400. List it at $500 on Craigslist, Letgo, &c. With the idea of haggling to around $350. If you get no calls. Drop the price $50 every three days.

No ones going to care about the keyboard and mouse. If they are buying a used desktop they likely already have a set. Whether they are or are not included. Likely won't effect the resale value. Same goes for a single 1TB HDD or dual 1TB HDD.

I don't think anyone will want your used headphones. That's just gross. Then again there are gross people. So, who knows. Whenever I get something used that includes headphones. I throw the headphones out.
 
Mistaken down vote.

Its an aging fx rig , not worth much.

Headerphones & case (if in perfect nick) & gtx 970 are worth money.

Rest of it not a lot at all.
Just the way it is , I have 2 comparable fx rigs (in my SIG) that really aren't worth selling for what I'd get.

A used custom built i5-4690K, water cooled, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 3TB HDD and GTX 970 can be had for $500 on eBay. From a relatively unknow reseller.

Both system have considerably faster gaming CPU and have an SSD.

You may luck out and get a higher price. It all depends on your local market. I'm just going by what is a realistic expectation in my experiences reselling used computer gear.
