Hello, so here it comes, my all new pc! What do you think? I'd like to know your opinion on cpu cooler and PSU - is 520W enough? I'll be having this PC for another 4 years, that's why I chose the H97 chipset, which supports oncoming broadwell cpu's. Oh and what do you think about that case?
Thank you for advices!

looks fine other then the power supply. save some money use a evga 600b unit or I would use a 750W UNIT. give you some room if you wanted to add more drives or a larger video card latter without having to replace the unit.

I don't know, EVGA 600B is tier 3 in terms of quality on this list, whereas the seasonic is tier 2A.

I fear it won't last long enough or the components are cheaply made.
