In my ongoing tradition of asking questions for seemingly idiotic reasons, I'd like to get you guys' opinions on something.
When I build my much-vaunted new PC in the weeks to come I'll be selling my current rig to my brother to offset the cost. So, the question I want to ask is: is £600 a fair price? I'm not asking because I want to fleece him for as much as I can get, but rather that he is a complete computer ignoramus (in a nice way, but he did ask me this morning to underclock all my components before giving him the PC so it'll last longer - QED) and I don't want to feel like I'm ripping him off. To save the wear and tear on your mice, I'll post my specs here for your viewing pleasure. To answer the question I'm sure someone will ask otherwise, I've had the computer for just under two years, and the overclock was done less than a year ago. The Caviar drive is brand new, installed just a week ago.

Cheers for the input, guys. And if someone can come up with a convincing way I can explain to my brother that squeezing ten years of life out of a PC he wants to use for gaming is totally redundant, please tell me. He doesn't seem to believe me, for some reason.
