What is this worth?

1.) First the price, I was thinking around 200$, it's pretty old (Roughly 5 years old) and I'm thinking it's a good price for what it is, maybe for a person that is skeptical getting into PC gaming but doesn't want to invest too much money into it.

AMD A10-5800K

MSI FM2 A75 MA E35 (How do I still remember the model number)

8GB Kingston Memory (Gskill) 1866mhz

1TB Caviar Blue

R7 260x

CX 500 Watt PSU

2.) How should I clear the HDD?

I don't have the old key for my old windows 7 CD or the physical CD at all actually, so should I just format the HDD in my current computer and throw it back in their and notify that the buyer needs to buy an OS key? Or is there a way to clear everything but the OS without removing the OS and without the key.

I would part it out, you can probably get more money that way.

$250-$300. 

 

Use DBAN to wipe the HDD completely. https://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/

you can use magical jellybean keyfinder to get the key into plaintext again.

then reinstall and use the same key

 

wipe the HDD using the plethora of available HDD wipers. 7 passes at least if you want to be very sure. minimum, you want to reset everything to zeros, not just quick format.
