Sorta kinda, but only because GPU prices are stupid. I personally wouldn't pay more than $400 for that. The GPU and SSDs are the only items of note.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Honestly, that looks too good to be true in today's market. If it's not, and everything works 100%, buy it ASAP. The GPU alone is worth nearly all of that, not including the SSDs, 16GB of RAM, or any of the other stuff.

Used 2600k's go for about $115 on ebay, and you might be able to find someone willing to sell you a 3770k (for the sweet native sata 3) somewhere like r/harwareswap for around $150. Go for it
