I posted this build earlier today, but I've made a couple changes based on user recommendations. I plan on purchasing this tomorrow morning, so if you see any changes that should be made, don't hesitate to let me know.
My budget is ~$800, but I'd really like to keep it as low as possible. This build is modeled around getting the best performance/price, not necessary the best performance overall. Also, I've already purchased the case, so that can't be adjusted. And I don't plan on OCing in the immediate future, so I don't think I'll need a cooler.
Here's my build:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

I'm fairly confident I want the CPU, GPU, and mobo. However, I'm still uncertain about the PSU, memory and storage. Any suggestions on those parts (if they're any good, if there are more cost efficient parts, etc), would be greatly appreciated.
About the PSU: I want a decent PSU that won't damage my pc, however I also want good value. I was very conflicted on which PSU I wanted. Originally, I went with this, but was told it might be inefficient in terms of power. I also considered this, but was a little concerned that it was too expensive. If either of those are a better choice, or if you can suggest a superior replacement of your own, please don't hesitate to say so.
Thanks.
