I recently sold some older parts with an i5-8600k and a Raedon Sapphire 2000-something for $300. I really had no idea what it was worth, but someone bought it at that price. I guess you're getting more power for less money.

The real question is, what do you want to do with it?
I'm only buying it for Elite Dangerous to be honest but games like Helldivers 2 and anything else really would be an added plus of course.
For Elite: Dangerous that should be fine. And it's a decent price
But CPU, RAM, and Motherboard would likely need upgrades before you could get to modern games like Helldivers. To be fair that CPU/Mobo/RAM released in 2009. GPU is a mid-range from 2019 so it should be okay for mid/low graphics in 1080p.
Huge topic.
Like I said, for just Elite: Dangerous I think you'll be fine at mid graphics.
For upgrades check out https://www.logicalincrements.com/ in the price category you're comfortable in.
I'm partial to AMD for CPU since upgrade paths are much more modular.
Alright thanks!
