How much is a gtx 1650 with an i7 870 pre built worth?

I'm going to pick one up locally tomorrow for $225, worth it?

I recently sold some older parts with an i5-8600k and a Raedon Sapphire 2000-something for $300. I really had no idea what it was worth, but someone bought it at that price. I guess you're getting more power for less money.
The real question is, what do you want to do with it?
- I'm only buying it for Elite Dangerous to be honest but games like Helldivers 2 and anything else really would be an added plus of course.
  
  Helldivers 2 isn’t even going to run on this machine (due to a lack of AVX instructions)
  
  For Elite: Dangerous that should be fine. And it's a decent price
  
  But CPU, RAM, and Motherboard would likely need upgrades before you could get to modern games like Helldivers. To be fair that CPU/Mobo/RAM released in 2009. GPU is a mid-range from 2019 so it should be okay for mid/low graphics in 1080p.
Nothing beyond that GTX 1650 is going to have any value, that i7 870 is a dog, you’re going to be burning 95w for 4 cores, and you’re going to have problems playing modern games (for example Helldivers 2 is going to complain about AVX support) and it’s going to be hit or miss whether the motherboard in that system is going to support UEFI boot
