For $800, that build isn't worth it. Even though the CPU isn't very old, you can get better components for the same price. I'm also not too sure of the quality of the EVGA BQ power supply, it's not a great PSU if I remember correctly.

Buy this used for $800? I offered $700, which i'd be ok with, but they countered with $800. Just doesn't seem worth it.

Intel fanboy, I know I could buy Ryzen that would do ok for cheaper. Decided if I can find the 8700k for a decent price id go for it.

I already have a 1080 Ti that I would put with it.

Intel isn't worth spending the money on currently.
