$650 New Build or Buy used build!

[LordLactose]

Hey guys so here’s the situation. I have my old build hanging around and my friend needs a new computer (for non gaming/solid works is the most he’d do). I was going to give him the system below, (including monitor, kb, and mouse) or I was going to offer to build him a new pc at a similar price. My old build runs somewhat well (see scores below) but I don’t want to screw my friend over. 
 

Let me know if I should sell this build to him for $650 or try to build him a new setup for the same price. (Including monitor)

That system is not worth $650. That's an old system. You could maybe get $300 for it if you're lucky. It's an old CPU and an obsolete GPU

While it's not worth $650, it's got a very solid CPU.

I'd help him build anew, and buy yourself a new GPU and an SSD sometime in the near future!
