The PSU is fine, its a high quality, reliable PSU.

Also the one he listed is fully modular, so he doesnt have to worry about those pesky useless cables

If you dont mind 20a per rail. Im not a fan of low rail amps. I would much rather have all power available to all components. But to each their own.

Okay, thanks for the quick feedback. Since it seems to be a common suggestion ill upgrade to the z97.

Other than that everything else look okay? can i expect to get high to ultra on WoW?
