I wouldn't.

U don't know what happened to them, how they were used... And most likely noone will give u a refund in case of a trouble.

As for me working with used parts is just like wearing used clothes.

For the case only pay $60 as that is 50% off the cheapest price I can find. In regards to the cpu see it working and see the temps for it under load and if the price is right buy it. Of course try to get as close as you can to 50% off with the cpu but hell if you don't get there and are saving a significant amount of money go for it.  In regards to the PSU it is a ripoff and not even a good one. Don't buy it. In regards to the ram see it tested and offer $40 or $50 for it.

There is nothing wrong with used parts.  Seriously if you know how to shop proper for the stuff and ask to see it working and tested for certain components then it is fine.  As for your reference to it being like wearing used clothing I hope one day you have to wear used clothing to bring your nose down from the sky.

it's still quite expensive for used parts

most things are BNIB so even if it's failed you can still claim for warranty.

dont. also that corsair cx600 will probably have a rattling fan or a dead one, otherwise no one would sell it

You want a Z series board but a non K series CPU?

 

That's silly!

 

Also if you can get a better PSU from a better OEM that would be good for you.

because H boards dont have SLI support

The CX600m isn't exactly suitable for SLI. Certainly not for a pair of 780s.

is this psu better? http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/sop/4964172285.html

I'm not planing to go with 2 780cards, but maby 2 290s

and how about this motherboard: http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/bnc/sop/4918064462.html

 

EDIT: or i could go with an new amd cpu: http://www.ncix.com/detail/amd-fx-8320-8-core-3-5-4-0ghz-e8-76933-1015.htm

and a used motherboard:http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/sop/4965263555.html

If you go for a pair of R9 290's, you're going to want preferably an 850w psu. A decent one too with a decent OEM.
