Let's value my scrapyard wars type PC find

So I bought a full PC package (periphs and monitor) second hand from a guy for $100. Can we groupthink the breakdown what the periphs would go for so I could estimate what would the PC only components total would be worth / what I paid for it (if I took out the FMV of monitor)? FYI I use this for some 1080 gaming in my spare time (I don't do much gaming).

 

Intel OEM mATX board

i5-2400

120G SSD (namebrand)

16G DDR3 RAM (can't remember MHz)

1TB HDD

Corsair 450ish PSU

GTS 250 (I replaced with 1050ti I got on sale)

24in (I think) 60hz 1920 x 1080p monitor

nongaming periphs

Coolermaster case (nothing special)

Windows 7 geniune to install (he cleanwiped the drives)

 

What would you say the % of the price is the FMV monitor?

IOW, if this guy is selling this package, how much do you think he would have sold the PC only for?

I'm guessing the periphs have a FMV of $5-10?

What would the FMV of the monitor be?

What would you sell this combo for?

What would you sell the PC only for?

Depends on what sort of peripherals we're talking about? Regular membrane keyboards (most likely) ain't worth much unless they're a special rarity like G15s or something.

Oh regular membrane stuff. I'm still using the membrane keyboard b/c I can't justify spending $ on mechanical keyboards for the super casual gaming I do, but I did upgrade my mouse to something of gaming quality.

It's funny because I'm like the complete opposite. Spends 90 bucks on a G610 Brown, uses a cheapo Lenovo ThinkCenter mouse I found in the bin.

I have Johnny Bench sized hands and the mouse wasn't large enough. My hands started to hurt after a while. The gaming mouse I got was larger and it had more buttons I could program.
