Well while I think you could build a newer system for about or little more then 1000 USD.. but the question is are those US dollars or something else..

Depends on what you're upgrading from and what your expectations are. I may be a solid NO!! for some users but it all boils down to you smile

the cpu / mobo is about 6 years old so, I would not want to buy something that far back in tech

~$80 OEM

TOTAL: $934 without shopping much


IMO, I wouldn't buy a used system for 16% off of the price of the system brand new.
When I sell my mobo/cpu/memory, which is very comparable to that set up (see signature), I'll do it for under $200 *total*. It's always been well kept, clean, never overclocked, but the fact that it's used pc hardware drops the value just for the fact of it alone.
Might offer $500 ($637 AUS) for the system, maybe $550, but no more IMO.
