Adjusted prices for what I have seen same or similar parts sold at by others or myself. Some of those parts have been out a few years now, all are used. I bought a g0 quad for 75 bucks, and got another for free, lol. You can get a newer version of that HD for 49 bucks. 650i board is old now, last review on Newegg was from 3.5 years ago. With no quality name listed on the case and PSU, I have to assume they are lower end brands. Like a case that came with a PSU. Same with the RAM, might be a bit more if it is higher up the ladder for Pat RAM.
Total for that rig, $500 to $550 on the outside.
