When was the Tanakh written (or finalized)?

I realize the different parts were completed at different times, so, I'm looking for the dates for the Torah, Nevi'im and Kethvi'im, separately. And, if the Orthodox think it was all at once, then the one date according to that view.

The Tanakh was finished being written in 450 BCE. Since then it has remained unchanged. It is thought to have been written by Men of the Great Assembly. Some believe that it was finalized between 200 BCE and 200 CE.

A big part of the content of the Tanakh or old testament was put together by 450 BCE. It is believed that Tanakh was finalized somewhere between 200 BCE and 200 CE.
