Can you find out the specifics on the RAM, HD, and psu? Those are generic descriptions. For example on a psu, is it a PCP&C (quality) or a powertek (garbage).....HD WD or Hitatchi....it would help with pricing.

Here is what he said "ocz ddr 2 800 memory...seagate SATA 250Gb HD...and I believe the power supply is a Cool Max 550W. I paid $100 for it. it's nice and heavy, not a cheap built one. "

So hope that helps everybody as to the value

That is a good cpu

The case is decent. Seems to lack good airflow and the frame is a little restrictive to work in.

OCZ is good quality RAM, but they have different models of the DDR2 800. Could be reaper, platinum, gold.....

The HD is a bit old and small considering today's standards.

I'd take that power supply out and use it for target practice.

Overall, it's an Ok build. I'm not sure why someone would risk that quality of a system with that psu. I would probably value it around $450. Before starting it up, I'd remove that psu and get a good one like:

4G DDR3 OCZ Reaper 1333
