And everyone's talking about how Sandy/Ivy Bridge is still good enough but LGA1155 motherboards are scrap? The same goes for DDR3. Is supply really that high in the US?
A used Pentium G3258 anniversary addition sells for roughly 50 to 60 bucks in the United States. And that's a really good Pentium for having just two cores. They overclock really well and it's not unheard of reaching 5GHz (which I've personally almost done). Now if you take the same chip, but remove the ability to overclock, and the performance level (by a decent chunk close to 40%) you get what the OP has ,which IMO,is roughly $20 - $30 worth of processor. Then there's the DDR3 which definitely again because of ram prices does have some value but it's used by a few years at least it's only 8 GB and it's nothing special,I'd say $20-$35. Personally I don't see that video card having any real monetary value, but I do think that it has some "real world" value ,as far as being put to application as a media center or something. On the used market they sell for somewhere between 40 and 50 bucks. So adding that up (in a perfect world), if he were to find a buyer who is willing to spend money on those specific parts ,as opposed to spending a slight amount more and getting a lot more perf ,he might make what 100 bucks 120 bucks?( which I still don't see happening even in a perfect case scenario). Then the shipping has to be accounted for which costs and even if he was lucky enough to get someone who's willing to buy all three specific parts he's going to lose 20 or $30 there
Theres a difference between,not worth selling & not worth keeping. IMO, this build falls into the former.I stick to my original post. There's value in three of those parts just not very much there more valuable to keep and put to a different use or give away to someone who's close.
Edit
But this is all opinion based on American used components market... maybe its different in other countries
