Not bad, except for 2 glaringly painful omissions:

- this build lacks an SSD for a system drive
- power supply looks like a crap quality. Request a better one, from Seasonic, XFX, ANtec, EVGA, Corsair.

Corsair is a good brand, but stay away from their CS, CX and VS series. They are for office computers, not for gaming ones like yours.

As any experienced system builder will tell you, power supply is THE most important thing in your computer, period. If you have to, cut the corners whatever else you can; case, motherboard, cooling, even the CPU - you name it. But never, ever on the PSU. You need the best quality you can afford. It will last you many years and provide stable power to your components, making them last longer. And you can even reuse it in another rig later.

So, my suggestion for you would be this PSU:

Phew. They really offer a lot of junk ;) However, there are a few excellent quality ones among them. For 550W models, these two are the best:

Here are the best options:

550 Watts - Cooler Master V550 80 Plus Gold Semi Modular Power Supply [+4]

550 Watts - Thermaltake Toughpower - 80 PLUS Gold, Semi Modular Power Supply [+2]
