What is the purpose of selling it ?
1- If you dont want PC anymore, then you can get for all those parts a 800~900dls range tops.
2- however if you are thinking of buying a new PC, then I would keep the RAMs and the Thermaltake V3 case, and selling the other parts, for hardware update, as they are mostly outdated, also the PSUs tend to lose power when getting old.

drop 10-15% from what you paid for it every 6 months. since its from 2011... thats a 50-60% drop in price if its a full 3 years old at best depending on when in that year it was bought. expect somewhere around $4-5 for every $10 you spent originally. thats a good starting point.

while i agree if you are building a system you could salvage some parts in all honestly you are most likely better off just salvaging windows and your hard drive. while you can salvage the ram, you would want to use the same ram brand, and specific model in a new system. that would also fill all of your ram slots. so while possible with 8gb of ram at only $68 is it really worthwhile?

The architecture of this pc is still very functional for everyday use and gaming. Get another 4 GB of ram and upgrade your video card and you'll be good to go. Pick up a SSD for your OS, and you'll notice such a performance upgrade that you'll be left wondering why you never did it in the first place.

Unless your getting out of the gaming scene otherwise: Mint/Good/Fair

Case: $40/$30 including shipping *competitive market makes cases some of the worst things to get top dollar back
CPU: $130/120/110 *since the chip is not a -k series, it normally doesn't get top dollar*
PSU: $55/50/45 *again, hard market to compete in*
Ram: $40/35
MB: $120/110/100 *paring this with your cpu and ram generally nets you very close to top value, and always is easier to ship*
HD: $60/50 *Maybe, prices tend to drop as time goes on for new stuff*
Video Card:$80/70/60 *This is one is probably hard to swallow, but if you try to get more, people are usually willing to spend 20-30% for a new card that comes warrantied*


that puts you around $500-600 for the whole thing parted out, before you pay for shipping costs.
