Upgrading a PC is rarely one clean purchase. You may need a full parts pile, a retro build, or just peripherals to replace worn gear. The four bundles in this pc components upgrades roundup span a wide price spread, and each one assumes a different starting point. The cheapest is a mixed used/new grab bag; the most expensive is an open-box vintage gaming component set. Somewhere in between are an accessory bundle and a tower that the listing describes as for parts or not working.
Quick take
If you want the widest range of possibilities for the least cash, the PC Build Components, Extras, bundle is the entry point - but it's a mystery pile. For a cohesive retro setup, the Vintage Gaming PC Components bundle has the most complete parts list. The Gaming PC Accessory Bundle is the straightforward pick if you only need a keyboard, mouse, and mousepad. The PC Components/Rig is the true project: it needs cleaning and repair work, but it also comes with a tower and a monitor.

Product notes
PC Build Components, Extras, bundle
This is the entry-level option if you want a pile of parts without committing to a specific platform. The listing says some pieces are new and some are used; they are sold together as a bundle, and the photo is the component list. At the lowest asking price in this group, it gives you a low-cost way to build a spare-parts stash or to experiment with mixes of used and new hardware. The limitation is transparency: no generation, chipset, or model names are spelled out, so you need to be comfortable identifying parts visually and checking compatibility yourself.
Vintage Gaming PC Components, Incl. Asus MB, Intel CPU, Radeon GPU, 4GB DDR2 Ram
Open-box rather than heavily used, this bundle is built around recognizably older hardware: an ASUS motherboard, an Intel CPU, and a Visiontek ATI Radeon X1300 512MB GPU, plus DDR2 RAM and a 600W PSU. A Sony CD/DVD drive and a heatpipe heatsink round out the set. If you want a foundation for a retro-themed gaming machine, this is the clear match in the group. The flip side is the era: DDR2 memory and a Radeon X1300 place this well outside today's performance expectations, so it is best treated as a classic-gaming or preservation project rather than a daily driver.
Gaming PC Accessory Bundle
For an upgrade that doesn't require opening the case, this used bundle gives you a Razer keyboard, a HyperX XXL mousepad, and a Corsair wireless/wired mouse with OEM cables. Everything is black, has a standard QWERTY English layout, and is described as in good working shape. It's plug-and-play and wired by default, which keeps setup simple. The one thing to plan around is charging: no charger is included, so if you rely on the mouse's wireless mode, you'll need to bring your own power solution or stick to the wired connection.
PC Components/Rig (Read description before buying
This is the most project-like option in the group. The condition is listed as for parts or not working, and the description says most parts are old and need cleaning, with the NZXT Kraken 120mm AIO specifically not working. What you do get is an ASRock FM2A58M-VG3+ motherboard, an AMD A4-6300 CPU, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a Logisys 480W PSU, a DVD drive, and a working HP S2031 monitor. There's no GPU included, and the second HP monitor has a cracked LCD, so expect to supply the graphics card and repair effort.
Final recommendation by use case
If you want a cheap, no-commitment parts collection, the $40 PC Build Components, Extras, bundle is the entry point. If you are assembling a vintage gaming rig, the $249.99 Vintage Gaming PC Components bundle gives you the board, CPU, GPU, and RAM base. If your PC is fine but your keyboard and mouse aren't, the $50 Gaming PC Accessory Bundle is the direct fix. If you enjoy bench work and need a tower, CPU, RAM, and a monitor to rebuild around, the $150 PC Components/Rig is your project.
