    Hard to know what to ask without more specific information on what you have (make, model for each part). Going off of what you provided:

    CPU: $90
    GPU: $125
    HDD: $30
    Case: $15 (it's used and they were as low as $30 new)
    Motherboard: $50
    Memory: $30

    Total: $340

    Knowing what your motherboard is could boost it quite a bit.

    I-er, um, I have a used Intel CPU with some thermal paste on the connectors.

    What's the best possible way to remove it without damaging the processor?

    I mean, the paste is in a corner. It's not slathered all across the bottom or anything.

    Perhaps use a credit card or something similar to scrape it off. Something that will not react with the surface or the goop but will only take it off. That being said, might want a second opinion.

    Coffee filter and alcohol. Use a toothpick for hard to reach areas.

    Those are cool, you know, if you never want to move it again.

    Ended up selling for $450 and building a slick new system. Giving intel a try for the first time.
