You probably won't like the answers you get back... Assessing used parts prices is rough. If you can pull half your investment back, then you are probably doing fine. IMHO you have a system that is a bit dated and not very desirable to gamers. Perfectly fine for an "office" PC, or someone that does light gaming at low resolutions and detail. In order for someone to game on high detail the GPU and CPU would both need a replacement.

CPU - FX 4100 is a generation back. Not much value here when the FX 4300 is cheap, will OC higher, and consumes less power.
MB - Not much demand in the used market for a SATA II motherboard with users looking toward SSDs for their boot drive. Lacking USB 3.0 is another shortfall, but less of a concern for most users.
PSU - Solid manufacturer and good unit. Not modular though...
XBOX Controller - Zero value
32" Sharp TV - Very little value to a PC person. 720 resolution is a downer...

Actually he said the PSU was modular, and never said what resolution the TV is. However, it's hard to sell a 4100 for more than $50 used. You can probably sell that for $400, just because of the nice case and large screen.

That is true, but that's still nice.

I personally think you'd have better luck parting it out as most users on here are only interested in buying mid-range to high-end PCs. I'd imagine You'd be able to sell the GPU, PSU, and Ram fairly quickly. The case is also decent, but nobody on here is really willing to spend much for shipping so you'd probably be better off putting it up on craigslist.

you'll manage to sell the rest too. You just won't get very much for them.
