okay thank you sir

 
not sure i would trust a xion brand psu. i would replace it personally.

those prices you listed are heavily inflated even for prices from a few years back.

given the age of the system (that cpu was first introduced in 2012) you're looking at between 40-60% reduction at price at minimum if it used good hardware. since it uses a questionable power supply and low end motherboard you can take off for those.

i would say its worth about $100 lower than what you quoted. also, do consider the cost of building your own system using new parts - you can go intel with newer hardware with greater performance for only a few hundred more than what he is asking.

figure, something like this is only $707 (plus cost for a monitor, dvd drive, case and some peripherals) though prices could be trimmed back even further if you did not want/need to overclock

its up to you whether or not you wanted to buy used, although given the costs are only going to be a few hundred more to buy a new system (even if you dont get a fancy 3d monitor) i would rather go with new parts with a warranty over used parts. your choice.
