He won't be overclocking his Cpu, so you can spend that extra $ from an aftermarket heatsink somewhere else.

Any specific reasons you picked
Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Over other options?

nikoli707 · Apr 28, 2014

he picked the xfx 550w power supply because it is by far the best power supply for anywhere near its price.... so DO NOT change out the power supply for something cheaper or even a little bit more.
