Mobo and processor £80
Graphics £135
Memory £50
HD £45
Case and psu £30
DVD £20
That's brand new, obviously not built but you could probably hunt around and get it all even cheaper.

I have to agree with SiPie £300 and I would honestly snap their hand off, thats not being funny that is hand on heart as I can easily make up a faster spec PC for well under £400 brand new with almost double the spec of your, I am sorry to tell you.

I think Si's right. Priced it up to build from new now, using the same spec:
£40.00 Pentium D945 Dual 3.4ghz 4meg cache
£35.00 250gig WD Hard drive
£70.00 XFX GeForce 7900GT 256meg 256bit Graphics
£50.00 4gig PC5300 667mhz Ram
£100.00 For a decent Mobo
======
£295.00

it's just selling a system so cheap which has cost me quite a bit.
but i suppose as time has gone on with new technology etc prices tumble.

Technology has moved on indeed. Your motherboard is 3 chipsets old and your processor is very dated. A Core2Duo of similar price would blow it away.
If prices don't fall the technology you get for a similar price is incredible. I built my machine about 10 months ago and it was a quality spec nearly £1000. It's already lost £300 and would be more if I hadn't had got a good deal on things like the hard drives.

You can get a core2duo for £50 that is so much better...
I know you want to get as much as possible which is cool, but you'd be seriously mugging someone off at £450. If you can go ebay or local ad or something and do it then that's fine, but selling things through a forum I think it's only right a fair price is to be had by all.
