So i really want update my PC, but I am on a low budget. So I thought that i could sell my old PC and add a little bit money to my savings. So how much my pc should cost?

Specs:

CPU: AMD 64 Athlon X2 3800+ 2.0 GHz

Video card: AMD Radeon HD 5570 (Gigabyte version)

Motherboard: ASUS M2N-E SLI

PSU: Codegen model: 400X 400W

Random, solid, good looking black case :D

I'd say $250-$300

athlon x2 $50

graphics card $50

motherboard $50

psu $50

case:$50-100

50 USD for a OEM case? You can find ones for like 20 bucks sometimes, so why would someone pay 50?

Probably more like ~$350 after you add in a HDD, RAM, and CD Drive.

CPU: AMD 3950x Mobo: MSI B550 RAM: 32GB DDR4 GPU: Asus 3080 Strix PSU: Superflower Leadex 3 720w Case: BeQuiet 500DX

Storage: 2TB SSD + 4TB HDD Audio: SMSL 793ii -> HiFiman HE-400 + Mission MS-50 Speakers

he didn't mention them so I assumed he meant to keep the HDD and optical drive,and the ram is DDR2 which doesn't have a huge market especially for white label ram.

Yea I agree, $200 at best. The used hardware market is really harsh especially how outdated this hardware is, going to be hard to get a decent price on like obsolete hardware like this. Best to keep it as like a server or back-up system I think. Unless you really want to spend the time and energy to find a buyer.

Most likely local too or else the shipping cost to ship a case would cut into your profit margins.
