Well, after retiring my two builds, I was certain no one would care about the hardware that's nearly ten years old. Instead of disposing of them, I kept them as a display piece on my shelf. Regarding selling them, shipping costs remain completely unclear for me. You're in the USA and Michigan, while I'm based in Europe, Estonia. That's quite far across the Atlantic Ocean. The shipping expenses alone would likely be more than the actual value of the CPU-MoBo-RAM combination. Plus, the time it takes to send them across the pond is significant.
Edit: Please note that for Intel 4th generation CPUs, the Tjmax reaches 73°C. This means you'll need a powerful cooler to maintain that temperature. My i5-4590 began overheating as the build aged, and the stock cooler wasn't enough anymore. FS19 should function properly if you don't install any modifications that restrict CPU airflow. I tested FS19 on my i5-6600K with a GTX 1060 3G at launch, and everything worked well. The biggest performance drain is GTA V, and with a $100 GPU, it might not be sufficient.
Have you checked your local Facebook marketplace or Craigslist? Occasionally, you might discover a solid offer for a complete build at around 200. Still, it's okay to run GTA V on a GPU under $100. Here’s an I7 4770 and GTX 1660 super, which offers performance close to what you can expect for a model priced at 100, especially with high settings and no FSR. See the links below:

Good deal has both sides to consider.
For a buyer, it means getting something at the lowest price.
For a seller, it means selling it at the highest price.
Take the example: you spent $15 on an ASUS Z87-DELUXE MoBo, almost 13 years old (Z87 chipset launched in Q2 2013). You still call it a good deal.
I paid $423.13 for an AsRock X870E Nova Wifi MoBo, brand new (made between February and May 2025). I also consider it a good deal. But do you agree?
