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 made a short video with my iPhone 7 Plus.

I hope this video helps you all to make up your mind on buying this PC.
Would like to be able to connect 2 SATA HD and if possible create copy of the primary HD that has OS in case of failure. It seems most of these have M.2 SSD instead of Sata. I was able to easily do this on my current Desktop with 2 Sata SSD but curious if any one has any recommendation for the M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive.
It appears from briefly researching Dell XPS is still a good choice outside of my building my unit.
Though it is bit costlier that this HP model. Any recommendations appreciated!

Where can I find the specs on # Sata ports. Number of 3.5 HD it will hold?
Also the PCie slots etc?

But for real tho, you can fit at least one HDD into this case without any problem.
Fitting two HDDs may be a bit hard cuz the case is too small. I am not sure if there is enough mounting area for 2nd HDD.
