So based on some of the posts I read on here, I built this on "cyberpowerpc"

CAS: CyberpowerPC X-MIRAGE Black Mid Tower ATX Gaming Case w/ Tempered Glass on both side Windows [-9] (Black Color)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6GHz [4.0GHz Turbo] Six-Core 16MB L3 Cache 95W Processor [-60]

KEYBOARD: CyberpowerPC Multimedia USB Gaming Keyboard
MEMORY: 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4/2400MHz Dual Channel Memory (Performance Memory by Major Brands)
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock AB350 Pro4 AM4 ATX w/ RGB, Realtek LAN, 2 PCIe x16, 4 PCIe x1, 6 SATA3, 2 M.2 SATA/PCIe
MOUSE: CyberpowerPC Standard 4000 DPI with Weight System Optical Gaming Mouse

POWERSUPPLY: 600 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready
SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
VIDEO: AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB GDDR5 Video Card [VR Ready] (Single Card)

Which all comes to a grand total of $907 plus tax.

Included is a 1 year parts warranty, and 3 years service/technical support. I'll probably opt to add in some shipping coverage, and maybe buy a surge protector (lots of storms around here, causes unstable power a couple times per year).

Is this a good price, is there anything in that list that's a red flag? Cheap gunk, overpaying, or even just way overpowered for our needs?

I'd get a 1600 instead of a 1600X cause it comes with a pretty good stock cooler which can handle a certain amount of overclocking without giving you shit termals. I am sure you can find proof if you google/youtube it. And then obviously don't bother with the liquid cooler since you would be using the stock cooler.

With the money you save, I'd try to get a 1070 instead.

Difference is rape worthy and that's compared to the 8gb 580, not the 4gb:
