So I've been trying to learn about PCs for the last month or so, and I think I'm finally ready to make the purchase and build this thing. But I need some opinions saying if this PC is going to be okay. Main concern at this point is any potential bottle necking. And I was told this would be a good PSU, but should I go larger just in case?
