Updated PC build

Solution
It's a good build. The only critique I have pertains to the hard drive and PSU. I would go for the black instead of the blue drive the speed difference is worth the extra cash. Also, I would add in a 128GB ssd for you main games and OS.

As for the PSU. You might look into a 750 watt just to make future upgrades easier. This is not a necessity at all just a little planning ahead.

Here is the build with the suggested upgrades except the PSU:
