It's not a great system as it's pretty dated and low end. The monitor and storage is probably worth $100, depending on how used they all are. Other than that, I'd probably replace everything.

We'll need to know what case and PSU it has, the make and model of both, so we can know if they're worth re-using or not.

PSU is some thermal intake 650 w bronze, and case is unknown, looking to do more performance upgrades than case so i think ill stop my research there on the case. Thank you again!
