Hey everyone! I just started getting into building PCs around November 2024, and I've got almost everything for my build except for the graphics card. I'm considering a used 4070 Super that I found for $600 instead of the $900+ ones I've seen online. I've done a lot of research and watched a bunch of YouTube videos, but I'd love to hear any thoughts or advice you might have about my parts list. Thanks!

The build looks solid! You've got some high-end components, but I’d suggest saving some money on your RAM if you can. Also, $900+ for a 4070 Super feels ridiculous when there are better options like the 9070xt available for around the same price. Just a thought!
Exactly! If you can snag that 4070 Super for $600, it sounds like a way better deal compared to the rip-off prices for new ones.
Your monitor seems a bit overkill for what you're planning. I doubt your setup will hit 240Hz at 4K. What's your primary use case? Because if it's gaming, the 9800X3D is likely overkill for the 4070 Super. Also, keep in mind that aiming for 4K at 240Hz is a tall order with your current specs!
It's mainly for gaming! I was debating between the 7800X3D and the 9800X3D. The price difference made me go with the 9800X3D. I don't need 4K 240Hz for everything, but I'm looking for a step up from my current 1660 paired with an i5 9400F.
Yeah, I'm definitely not ready to cough up $900! I'm leaning toward the $600 used one.
