I'd be a bit more optimistic, assuming everything works. The RAM should get a good amount alone. Older motherboards are the hardest thing to find replacements for and that should retain plenty of value, especially if it has a Windows 10 license attached to it. The HDD is probably not going to get you anything. The CPU should sell well since Intel hasn't improved much even with a few generations to work with. The GPU is dated but still worth a few bucks. The PSU value is unknown without a brand or model. The case probably isn't worth much.

I'd say $300 is a good deal if you sold it as is. Maybe easier to sell parted out.

Okay CPU - not a "K" version so it can't be overclocked. It's a Haswell, so it's already three generations back from the current Kaby Lake that just came out. That doesn't mean the CPU is bad, but people will make note of that.
GPU is at least 3 years old and it was a mid-ranged GPU then, so it's a bottom line GPU by today's standards
HDD is small and it's not a SSD. Most people use SSD of 250GB or so as their main or OS drive and have a secondary HDD of 1TB or more as their storage drive.
PSU - 875W is overkill for that build, by a lot. it also depends on the make/model of the PSU. Someone in another thread had issues with their 800W PSU getting their R9 390 GPU to work. 800W PSU should be ample to run the card, but come to find out, it was a crappy PSU and it couldn't.

All in all, you'd be lucky to get $200-250 for it. Best thing going for it is the CPU/MB/Memory
