Hi there everyone i am in the process of putting together a gaming computer and i only have about 750$ to spend on it. I made a build that took quite a lot of research but i just need a few more opinions. I know that some comments may say 'that isnt a reliable brand for a psu' or something like that, but i wanted to stay in the budget and in the future i am going to upgrade the build so for the mean time i just want to be able to play games without worrying about fps. I play all sorts of games ranging from LoL to Battlefield to Nosgoth, and i am going to be recording, streaming and editing in the future as well. Here is what i've come up with so far:

And where does your budget stand when that cheap power supply burns out your motherboard, CPU, and GPU? Drop the CPU cooler and the "gaming" keyboard and put that money towards a quality power supply. You can upgrade those items later.

I'd probably look at this one: XFX TS Series 550 watt PSU. $61 minus $10 promo drops it to $51. There's also a $25 rebate dropping the final cost to $26.

Better motherboard, better GPU, better PSU. Just a bit over $750, after rebates and promos and shipping.
