Ship date end of March, dang
I took a quick look at eBay and 1080 (non-Ti) cards in working condition are still usually selling for $500. Local sale prices (for cash) would probably be more like $400. So, if you assume the high end value for the 1080, that makes the rest of the PC $350

A 6700K sells for at least $100-150... and that is just the CPU by itself with no cooler or anything. For used RAM and PSU, I'd say $50 each. Used small SSD, only $25 b/c really this is only for Windows OS/boot drive and you'll need to buy another SSD to actually install games. Cooler I consider a freebie on a completed system. Who knows when the AIO may fail. Air tower coolers are more reliable long-term IME (I have one over 10 years old still running with the original fan).

I know a lot of other replies here say that the total value should be $500 but that is too low unless they are all finding used 1080s for cheaper than what I'm seeing. I'd say a 1080 by itself in working condition is worth $400-500.

Personally ... I'd estimate the total value at $750 if you assume the 1080 is worth $500. Or $650 if you assume the 1080 is $400.

BUT - That assumes you are okay with buying an older PC. That RAM is almost 2 generations old at this point and the CPU is pretty long in the tooth. Over time, you'll be spending more money on electricity due to the inefficiency of the CPU not to mention you'll probably peg the CPU easily depending on what you are doing.

If it were me personally... I'd rather buy a used 1080 for a full $500 and buy a brand new CPU and do a fresh build. Or for that matter, just swallow $800 and get a 3060Ti from a scalper if $500 for a 1080 is your reference point. The 3060Ti is noticeably more powerful than a 1080, can do Ray Tracing, and also far more energy efficient as well. With an AMD CPU, you can run a 3060 Ti on a 500W PSU no problem. I'm running dual GPUs on a 600W PSU this very moment and I've never even pulled 500W from the wall even during a stress test.
I'm still waiting on my HP envy desktop that I ordered on Dec 1 and was supposed to ship out Dec 22, now revised to Jan 4 shipping. I am not sure if that's gonna happen.

Ouch adjusting the ship date farther out is one thing if they don't charge in advance and a whole different story when they do like HP does. Do they ask for approval of the new ship date?

Serious question, if you can find a used home built pc with a 1080 8gb gpu, would it be better to get than this deal?

Price?
I would say 'yes' if you can go get it now and the price is reasonable. The 1080 is still a great card and outperforms the 1660 super. BUT - I will caution that I have 2 separate 1080 cards and both are starting to show signs of memory degradation. Essentially, they no longer work at peak overclocks and even require slight underclocking to keep them from crashing my gaming system. Fairly heavy usage cards overall though, so that is likely why they are degrading, but its interesting that I am only running into this issue on the 1080.

Need more info of said comparison PC and use case. All other things being equal, userbenchmark puts GTX 1080 above 1660S.

I have a similar setup for work, an I7-7700 and a 1080ftw.
This hp would be quicker. That 6th gen is getting really old. And it's not windows 7 compatible.

$500 would be fair. Otherwise, get this desktop deal from Dell. At least the Dell can upgrade to Windows 11 (that 6700K can't, officially), and it will use significantly less power and be MUCH cooler to run.

Do these have motherboard graphics outputs/ports (hdmi and/or Display port) for the 5300G?
