The fact that it's used accounted for, no more than $400, I'd say.

But all the parts brand new I'd guess would be about $800.

Haven't you figured out that computers are worthless?
At least their value keeps going down on a daily, no, hourly, or is it minutely basis?

$700, most of that being the Radeon 9800 Pro video card.
$1200 if you include the monitor (22" Samsung).
$1350 if you also count the input devices and speakers/subwoofer.

somewhere between $1200 and $1400 including everything, with about $600 of that being just the SN45G and the speakers (Z680s)

My computer is worth one normal sex life, because that's the opportunity cost i'm giving up by using it.
