Tricky, given it's an older Core i processor. The GTX 670 is a bit unbalanced with the rest of the PC, tbh. The i5 650 is slower than a new i3, and would be better paired with something like a 650 Ti Boost or a 7850. Given I paid £360 for an i3-2100 + 7850 1GB rig in here a couple of months ago, I think £500 would be a high-end estimate, and you might have to settle for less than £450, even with the 670.

I'd be tempted to sell the 670 separately - the rest of the spec is going to drag its value down. Do you have a different card you could sell in the rig, or can it use the Intel graphics? Either way I think you'll get a better return from separating them.

i think i have the gt 340 that came with it around. How much do you think it could go for in its new configuration?

Probably about £250, maybe as much as £300 if you're lucky? The GT340 was never an amazing gaming GPU (it's basically a respin of the GT240), although it's fine for HTPC duties which apppears to be what you're selling it as. Do you know if it's DDR3 or GDDR5? That'd make a difference. If it's DDR3 you're looking at the lower end of that range.

But then you'd still have the GTX670, which I imagine could easily pull £200 second hand (given they're ~£300 new).
