Is this configuration justified at $950 USD? The build includes an i7 9700f, GTX 1070 ti, and several high-end components totaling over $1000. Are you seeking an Intel processor in the 8th or 9th generation?

You're considering purchasing this item used or new? Is it part of a bundle or did you gather these separately? Which specific PSU do you have in mind? This setup resembles a similar configuration (without the fans), and buying it this way could save around 250 USD. The CPU listed is an Intel Core i7-9700F at 3 GHz with eight cores, priced at $317.99 on SuperBiiz. The cooler is a NZXT Kraken X52 Rev 2 model with 73.11 CFM airflow, available for $129.99 on Amazon. The motherboard is an ASRock B365M Phantom Gaming 4 Micro ATX LGA1151 board at $108.92 on Amazon. Memory includes Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 modules for $79.98 on Amazon. Storage is an Intel 660p Series 512 GB M.2-2280 NVMe SSD from B&H at $62.99. The graphics card is a PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT with 8 GB of VRAM, priced at $443.98 on Newegg. The case is a NZXT H510 ATX mid-tower model for $69.98 on Amazon. The power supply is a Corsair TXM Gold 650W unit, certified 80+ Gold, semi-modular ATX style, costing $109.99 from Corsair. Overall cost comes to approximately $1323.82, including shipping and taxes where applicable. This list was generated by PCPartPicker on December 8, 2019 at 09:25 EST. Excluding the Radeon 5700 XT, it's only marginally better than the 1070 Ti. If you're aiming for these exact parts, this isn't a particularly good deal.

Avoid swapping PSU, don’t rely on old ones—it’s too dangerous, but it might be worth it

Together with storage devices, these are two components I usually avoid thinking about purchasing secondhand. The numerous moving parts mean problems can arise easily, and handling warranties on used items can be quite frustrating. Still, I’m unsure which PSU model this is, so I can’t say for sure if it’s a good choice either way.

The SX600-G? Why? This is an SFX PSU, while your case takes ATX PSU's. I mean, there is nothing wrong with this PSU.. But just be sure you get the ATX bracket included with it. I would reconsider the SSD to a 500GB+ model, because a decent 500GB SSD is usually not much more than an 860 EVO 250GB (so something like a 660p or even MX500 would work). I do not know this case, so can't comment on its quality. Be to sure to check if the 1070 Ti is still a good deal, what I mean is that a 5700XT or 2060 Super will be basically the same performance. If you're buying an older GPU new, just be sure you do it's because it's a great deal.
