Operating system will not be included, hard drive will.

Could throw in logitech z5500 speakers 5.1. mad catz R.A.T. 9 mouse and a standard decent keyboard. and 21 inch basic dell LCD monitor.

I play 1920x1080
Warhammer total war 2 at 23-27 FPS with every option maxed x16, etc unit size max. one or two reductions at key points gets me into 25-35 on benchmark battles. Namely turning to FXAA. Most games will play exceptionally well at balls out settings at 1080p, but as long as im getting 30-40 im usually happy. newest games are hit and miss, some run no problem, others i have to turn one or two options down a bit. but as long as i dont see stutter idgaf ;)

please let me know if you need anymore info.. thank you all for your time.

Not sure about actual numbrs, bot got some lose thoughts:
Storage, RAM and cooler are still good to sell today. (Especially with todays memory prices you might even get more than what you spent in the first place)
CPU and board are difficult, for gaming there are alot chips nowadays that are faster. So you would need someone who benefits from the 6 cores/12 threads in scenarios where 4/8 doesn't cut it and doesn't has the money to get a new setup of similar or better performance.
Case would be interesting for the right people, same goes for the sound card.
The graphics card is out of buissnes for a while now, And they still grow fairly rapidly. Even a 3GB 1060 or RX 470 surpasses it. 1050 Ti and RX 460 might catch up.

Those thoughts...

Those thoughts might be useful or not, but could give an idea how these parts stand today. When selling seperate is a no go, things might change completely.
