Do you guys think that this is worth it? I am not completely sure. I have a Toshiba Portege r705-p35 right now, is it worth the money to upgrade?

The case also comes with a PSU that you probably wouldn't want or need. Do you plan on trying to overclock the Pentium? Certain H81 and H87 motherboards have unofficial bioses that allow them to overclock. If that interests you I would check it out. I'd say this build would play modern games at 720p on relatively high settings or 1080p on lower settings.

I am not planning to overclock the CPU or any of the components for that matter because I am not quite looking for a risk. Would it be a bad idea to have two PSU's on the PC? (The built in one and the one listed)
Also, is it worth it to get a desktop anymore? I think it is, but I just want a second opinion (or third or fourth or whatever)
Lastly, is this a safe way to buy parts and are all of the parts known to be reliable and or come in good shape?

You don't need a second power supply, only computers that have 3-4 high end gpus might need 2 and there wouldn't be space in the case. If you buy stuff new it should be fine and those are all from reputable companies(except the case). If you get it new an something doesn't work you should be able to RMA it in a certain amount of time.
