I upgraded my PC yesterday and the aftermath has some left over parts; Essentially a bare bones upgrade. I've got a mate who's interested in buying it but I've no idea what all this stuff is worth.

I bought the graphics card exactly 2 years ago, so I imagine the other stuff is about the same age. At the time, I had fairly respectable system. Up until two days ago, it was playing battlefield 2, half life 2 etc with reasonable frame rates - so it's still got some lead in its pencil. I'd appreciate it if someone (from the UK preferably) could give me an estimate on what this is all worth:

Intel P4 2.0Ghz
ABit SR7-8X
512MB (PC2100 - )
Creative GeForce FX5600 Ultra 128MB DDR AGP
Creative Sound Blaster 1024 Live! (ancient, but I'll throw it in)
[CrappyBrand] 300W PSU

I was thinking around £150+. Perhaps a bit more. Am I on the right tracks?

Cheers

£70, it IS second hand after all, it could all go "fzzzt" tommorow, actualy I would ask £30 or £40, but then I think most `tronic stuff is next to worthless the day after you take it out of the box, and by the end of the week it`s obsolete .
