Things like the board and processor, they are listing at the price they paid but they are older and not made anymore, so hard to compare retail prices. Cases, water blocks, etc, don't depreciate much in value, and the prices listed are probably close, but that's also used. I'd be leary about buying a used water cooling system, you don't know how well it works or how much life the pump has left, etc. You can buy a new Intel or AMD chip, a $30 212 fan and OC either of the newest intel or AMD chips fairly high just on air cooling and have a new system.

Yeah, there is no way some of those parts are worth that much. $200 for the 1055? You can get the newest 8350 for $200. In CPU tasks it's faster then the 1055. And who spends new prices on used parts? Not to mention $225 for that case? While big, it has zero cable management. My HAF XM was $150, and make a system look great on the inside.

All that said it probably is worth $400. Mobo and CPU is probably worth $150 or so. Add another $50ish for the case. PSU is great so another $75 or so for that. I'm not knowledgeable about water cooling parts, but I could see another $100 for a complete system including rad, pump, etc. Add it all up and you are just at $400ish. Up to you if you want to try the used water cooling parts. But don't kid yourself and think you are getting $800 worth of parts for half that.
