I am not understanding what your question is. How much can I pull off? Do you mean what programs can I effectively run with the system I have listed?
 
I put a good amount of money into this system around $2000, and I would say the current parts are pretty relevant for today computer market. Do you guys agree?

You have to remember a few things:

1. It is used
2. It is a dead socket
3. Outdated memory
4. Outdated CPU
5. Computer components depreciate sickeningly quickly

It is a good system, but can't be upgraded further without scrapping the motherboard and memory which is the main reason you won't get much; whoever buys it will have a good system for 2 years, then will have to splash out of on a hell of alot of components
 
It is disgusting what you buy computer parts for and how much value they lose in value in only one year. This is why I buy Advanced Micro Devices Processors because they are usually less expensive and have great performance. It would not be a wise decision to buy a $1,000 central processing unit for a desktop computer for personal use. Wait one year and you could likely buy the same $1,000 processor for $400 to $300.

Yea I understand but what do you mean by dead socket?

No new LGA775 processors are being made, and DDR2 memory is now beginning to be outdated and phased out completely in new systems. You can get DDR3 775 motherboards, but you would be better off spending the moeny on upgrading to a new socket.

They won't make new CPU's for it. They have switched what socket they develop for. Now its LGA1366.

1156 and 1366 for now. Soon to be 1155 and 2011 though at the release of sandy bridge, with 2011 allowing up to quad channel memory, whilst 1155 sticks with dual channel
