Hi,

I'm making a computer for my younger brother as he is looking to get a PC. Instead of buying one in the store I said I'd help make one for him. I've done a bit of research on this but I'm still just a novice when it comes to this sort of stuff and would like your help.

I've already found all the parts for his computer and would just like to know if these parts would work okay together. Thank you.

^ That's a good build but a good 500W PSU is enough, especially with a 750ti that has a max tdp of 64w or something insane like that.
