The build looks good, the only thinks you should change are the ram to 1600 Mhz or 1866 Mhz and the seagate HDD to a WD Blue.

Is going used worth it?

Does it reduce the lifespan of the CPU significantly and can you assure quality?  Just wondering. Thanks!

When it comes to CPUs they rarely go bad so unless the CPU had been used for extreme OC'ing or there is visible damage on it then it should work like new.
