and the psu for this one:

Your parts are all compatible with each other, I can't seem to find any problems thus far. Your replacements look solid as well, only two things I would consider; Samsung has always been a more reliable brand for me than Toshiba, not that Toshiba is bad, it is more of a personal thing.

The other thing is the Seasonic PSU you want to replace; for me it seems a bit overkill, as I'm running more intense PC parts, and I'm doing just fine with the 550W OCZ PSU that I purchased for my first build.

If you prefer Toshiba over Samsung, and want to upgrade to some more powerful CPU or GPU, then I see why you would go for the 850W SeaSonic.

Your build looks nice man, I can't find anything that would not be compatible with each other, so you...

Toshiba SSD don't have good reps?

Sorry I'm kinda a newbie whats ROG and what did you mean by use the extra money to get a 760?

Only go with that type of wattage if I'm use Dual gpu's correct? So I'm assuming with my current build my wattage is sufficient. I've had alot of help on theses forums for my current build so if those 3 items aren't that great then I have no problem sticking with my current items.

Thanks a lot ya'll I appreciate it. This forum is the best. I'll just stick with my current build.

Now one more question. Does overkilling your PSU matter if you can get a higher wattage for a cheaper price?

Concerning your PSU Overkill query, there are some things you should know.

More for cheaper is better for your wallet at the time, but remember, the more Watts, the higher the electricity bill! So in the long run, you might end up spending more. Think about it.

Second thing to know is that you should always have a balance between all your PC Parts, having too much Watts doesn't really matter, as I mentioned earlier, I'm running on a 550W OCZ PSU, and it's doing just fine.

If you are looking to upgrade in the NEAR future, a 750W PSU would come in handy.

Good luck!
