need someone to verify with me that this build will work with what i have selected. my main concern is whether my psu will be good enough to handle everything in this build or not or whether you guys think i should upgrade it.

Two changes I'd make, neither of which is earth-shattering. I'd get a WD Black drive instead, for the reliability implied by its five year warranty. Then, you can avoid parrots, save a few bucks, and maybe even find something a little better by selecting your cooler from this list instead: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2478892/alternatives-hyper-212-evo-budget-cooling.html (not all are "better," but they are "similar," may be quieter, and will be cheaper). If you want high overclocks (most people do not), you'd want a 140mm Phanteks or Noctua instead, typically for 2.5X the price.
Its good! You dont need 16 gigs of ram, as most games use less than 8, but its a good build for the price.


Wait. I see one problem. The GPU card is very long, and it will require you to remove some drive cages to fit it. If you want, you can go with the EVGA ACX version, smaller, almost same thermal and decibels.


Also, you need to make sure the Hyper 212 will fit in the case.
