How much is this old beast worth nowadays?

Currently have an old PC which I built all the way back in late 2013 I believe. It's served me really well but now starting to show its age and I'm trying to upgrade to something more modern and power efficient before it completely die. 

Specs:

CPU: AMD FX8350 @ stock 4GHz (never OC'd that damn thing).

RAM: 2 x 4GB @ 1600 (8GB was surprisingly spacious back in the days).

Mobo: Gigabyte 990X Gaming SLI (which I never got to SLI). 

GPU: GTX Titan OG (a silly move which I immediately regret as I play with 60FPS w/ vsync).

PSU: Corsair 650 something. The budget model that I grabbed for around $80.

Case: Antec 1200. 

I think I blew-up an entire bonus of $3,500 on that freaking thing and as you can tell, it's not a very budget efficient build. I was only 23. A young, naïve and cocky guy who landed a great job and became too successful too soon for his own good and this PC was sort of a pat on my back. An 'atta boy', if you will. 

Anyhow, I'm trying to get rid of this thing and build something more down to Earth as I don't even have a job at the moment! 

I've set my eyes on an i5-10400F, 8GB of DDR4 RAM (I never actually got the chance to fill-up my current 8GB RAM so), a cheap albeit decent mid tower chassis (nothing extravagant) and maybe an RTX3060 (whenever they become available). I won't be salvaging any parts from my current rig as I want to sell it as is.

Sorry about the rant! I'm old, lonely and kinda bitter!

    There is nothing wrong with that PC. Try to sell it though you might only get $20 for it.

    It might be worth $350 as parts, mainly for the GPU and processor. Complete systems actually don't sell as well as parts, so your desire to sell it as is will limit the amount of money you can get for it.
