It looks to me as a perfect system the CPU and GPU are top class and are balanced.You have got a 250GB SSD too so installing OS on that drive would be perfect and speedy.The 780 is just perfect for 1080p and shall be futureproof too.Power supply is good but if you wnat to sli the 780 it needs at least 850w but that is not a concern as the 780 is more than a beast for 1080p.8Gb of memory is sweetspot for gaming and if you wnat to burn BD-R discs,then consider the Asus BD writer and if you will not burn Blu-Ray dics then you can go for a much cheper LG or HP DVD-RW writer but the Asus one is great and the Case is also great,so this would be a perfect system and can handle games,no problem at 60fps in 1080p

Any suggestions on a cheap 800/850W power supply?

jimthenagual · May 26, 2014

I'd go with the Antec HCG850M $99.99
Made by Seasonic, semi modular, bronze
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg850m

Or if you want one of the best
EVGA supernova 850 G2 $124.99
Made by Super Flower, full modular, gold, 10 year warranty

What about the xion axp 850w bronze? Found it for around $100

jimthenagual · May 26, 2014

I'd stay away from Xion.

Here is a decent list that can help decide which PSUs are good and which are bad.
