It needing a GPU is going to cause you problems. Even though we know that plugging in a GPU is the easiest damned thing, someone looking to "buy a computer" isn't going to want to do that. And anyone who is willing to do it would probably rather just pick their parts individually.
I would suggest either listing the parts as a group, but giving individual pricing as well, or buying a reasonable GPU on sale, plugging it in, and then listing the whole PC (though be prepared to get messages asking for components pricing, regardless).
As for pricing, I would plug it all into PCPP and assuming you don't have any components list really weird because it's not common anymore, knock 25% off because it's used, then see what kind of bites you get. If you do have wonky component price listing, compensate for that as well.

I would have taken that power supply off your hands.
Facebook marketplace has all sorts of PC crap on it. From full customized builds to parts that make no sense to buy. Almost never are the prices reasonable.
I agree with Josh. Check what your parts are priced at today and knock it down. Keep in mind that there may be newer stuff that is cheaper than your part just due to supply. I also agree that having a GPU will help it sell. Also, you'll want to wipe that SSD if you haven't, but you may also want to get a cheap windows code and reinstall.
I would probably list as is and see what, reasonable, bites I get. Make it clear that if it doesn't have windows installed and only CPU graphics.
