In terms of value, £145 for the graphics card and £56 for the case on eBay. That’s half the money on just two parts. The CPU, RAM, PSU, HDD, Windows 10 licence, WiFi card, etc, likely come close to making up the rest. So, the company selling it, is asking a fair price. That being said;

You didn't specify which CPU, however from a 2nd gen i5 @ 3.0GHz, I'll assume it’s an i5-2320. Doesn't support multithreading, and it’s around 8 years old now. Admittedly CPU’s haven’t advanced at quite the same rate, as other parts such a graphics cards, however they still have come some way in 8 years. The i5 2320 sells for around £24 and say an i5 3570k for £50. For just £26 more, you’ve got a CPU that’s around 30% faster, and overclockable. Just an example of how spending just that bit more, can get you a much better PC. (Same story spending another £50 or so, and getting a 1060 https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1650-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/4039vs3639

If you want a PC that’s good value for money, the best price range is around £600-800, any less and you’re stuck with cheap, lower end parts, which don’t yield good performance for the money. If you’re planning on spending £400, its probably better to save a bit longer and spend £600 on something far better.
