    Not a bad build, but for $500 no. Maybe $200-$300. What are you planning to do on it? Games, 3models,photoshop,video editing, etc?

    I figure this is all second hand.

    CPU: $30
    Cooler: $10
    Mobo: $30
    RAM: depends what RAM, not specific enough - assuming DDR2 PC6400 or less, $30
    GPU: $75
    case: $75 depending on condition
    HDD: $30
    DVD burner: $10
    KB/M: $10

    so what's that, maybe $300-$320?
