My cousing passed late last month, and her parents want to “sell” (more like giveaway this PC) to me as I have been looking to get into PC gaming lately. Seriously, I can pay them 1 buck and be done with it, but ofc I won’t, I want to pay a fair price at least.
None of us actually has much knowledge of PC, how do I even check the specs to know if this is good? And then, how much will it be worth?

It will probably be offensive if you try to pay them. They only want you to be grateful and remember their child. Say thanks now and in another 3-6 months say thanks again. Maybe mentioning how great their child was at the same time.

Depends on the GPU. With a 7600x and 32GB RAM, I think fair price without the GPU could be around $600-700.

Take it

Best option is to offer them $2 and then send me the GPU for $5 with free shipping.

the PC is very solid, sorry for your loss.

This is devastating. How old was she? This PC is essentially part of her. By getting it you “inherit” a good memory of her.
I don’t believe thst you should pay any money to the parents, first because this would be cruel and second this is something that she buolt with care. The moment they accept any money it becomes a inanimate object.

Make a backup/inventory their photos/videos if their family hasn’t already. Send the family a copy if you find and photos or memories of them that they may want. Check any password managers like chrome/edge’s password vault for saved login info. Pass this along to the family as well.

Sorry for your loss and may your cousin, who built a beautiful and powerful PC, rest in peace. Thoughts are with your family.

Buy new storage, put the old one in a enclosure and give it to the parents. There might be important and personal stuff in there.

That PC is decent. To a stranger I would sell it for at least 700$ To a Relative for 500$

Hard to tell from the photo, but that keyboard looks like a decent mechanical keyboard as well. Not as valuable as the PC of course, but might be worth posting it over on r/mechanicalkeyboards to see what they know about it.

This is easily a 800$~950$ pc. I cannot comment on whats the right thing to do as I don’t know ur situation. Sorry for ur loss. o7 cousin.

If I died I wouldn’t want my cousin to pay my parents for my setup. Just accept the system, yoink out the SSD, put it in a USB enclosure for your aunt and uncle. Consider the cost of the enclosure and a new SSD your payment.
