$700-$800 gaming build continued

[Elardoven]

A few weeks ago, I got a few recommendations for a $700-$800 build for a gaming pc, as a friend of mine is looking to get into pc gaming. Here is the thread: 

 

Another friend of mine upgraded his computer recently and has been looking to sell some of the parts of his old one. He's looking to sell an i5-4460, an MSI Z97 motherboard, an NZXT S340 case, 8gb of ddr3 1600 ram, and an R9 390 for $450. Would it be better to purchase entirely new parts, or to buy these parts for $450 and then finish that computer? My friend has no problem on the parts being used, just wondering what the better deal is. Thanks!

No, those parts are not worth $450.

Why not go fr the r5 2600? Just $25 more.

Also, this board will be slightly better as it is $10 cheaper than what you have recommend.
