I usually do a 20%-30% markup. Its like the labor of putting it together, making sure everything runs correctly and all that good stuff. You should also take thought of how it looks. If its a regular white-box then you shouldn't really charge extra, but if its something that looks really neat, and new age technology you can add a couple more bucks to the price for looks. People like design, its the first thing they see.

Probably around there. Go north of 1,000 CDN and I believe you'd be in the territory of what companies like ibuypower.com will pull off for that build; 'cept I doubt you'd have customer service, warranties, refund policies and such.
You're in the right range.
Remember, all those parts now cost about 40% less then they did a couple months ago.
I would say about $500. You can get 8 GB of RAM for only 90 bucks (good quality) and like the last poster said those hardware pieces do go down in value fast
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
i agree with $500, you know those things update every week, so it's a usual thing that they are 20%-30%less than that you bought it.
I think you are in trouble.... look at completed listings on Ebay for gaming PC's.... they sell terribly cheap... I wanted to start building and selling gaming PC's but they sell for less then I can buy the parts for =(
Maybe if you find someone local that wants it you might do ok. First price what it would cost to build it today... and start there.
