I'm not sure why you are going for liquid cooling on a low budget build. Air cooling would be cheaper and suit your purpose perfectly fine. EVGA is not a brand I would recommend for a power-supply, Brands like corsair, xfx and seasonic are more reliable and better quality in general.

You will get better performance and in general it's a few dollars cheaper to get 2*4gb ram sticks.

For your budget I ave no idea why you are getting an SSD, you would be better off upgrading your graphics card or even mobo and just useing a HDD.

Hope this helped

actually evga's psu's are super solid, even their basic cheapo 500w is decent. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=384

that review kinda emphasizes my point, I'm not saying they will break as soon as you look at them, but currently I think you can get better value for your money. However it is a minor point and its not going to destroy your pc having one.

Just recently I helped someone on this forum who had the same PSU and it blew out when they tried to install a 750ti. I would not recommend this unit.

XFX's 550W PSU is a solid PSU for the price. The PSU is the one component you do not want to skimp on during a build. Their 650W unit happens to be the same price post rebate.

It's a 650W PSU that is overkill for your initial build, but will hold up well for future upgrades. If I were you I would drop your SSD and upgrade your graphics card to a R9 270/270x/280 for higher fps in game. All in SSD will do is lower your load and boot times.

agreed certainly not the most desirable but if you need cheap you could do a lot worse, op, if you could afford corsair, seasonic, xfx, or the new v-series cooler master do that.
