Hello there. Below I have compiled a list of the parts I wish to purchase for a moderate gaming pc I wish to build myself. This is my first pc build and I have spent a considerable amount of time researching and comparing parts to find what I consider to be the most cost-efficient. If you could please tell me whether any of these parts will bottleneck or are incompatible that would be much appreciated. Also does the PSU have enough power for these parts?

I am also waiting for the NZXT Kraken x60 and x40 to be stocked. I plan to put an x60 in the top of the 530 for my CPU and an x40 in the front for my GPU with the Kraken G10 bracket. I also plan to fill all the fan slots after I install the rads.
