I am trying to build a decent, entry level gaming PC.
I have designed my build here- https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
I don't know if the power supply I have chosen will be sufficient.
Also, as I am a beginner, I would also appreciate any comments/suggestions on my build.

Can see it now. Yes, that PSU is fine for what you have listed there. Maybe an issue if you upgrade to a more beefy GPU down the road, but otherwise fine.

The ram seems a little pricey, you can get 2X 4GB for around $75 fine e.g
G.Skill Aegis: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231744&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Perhaps put the savings into a better motherboard.
