Hello, I putting together a build, and I'm just finalizing the parts, and I thought before I buy the parts, I would get some review from others. The only thing I can't change is the casing. Below are the parts, thank you in advance.

Casing: Orion 3020 Mid Tower
CPU: Intel I5 4460
Mother board: ASUS Z97M-Plus
GPU: ASUS GTX750TI-OC-2GD5
RAM:Corsair vengenance CML8GX3M2A1600C9
Memory: I still haven't decided, I would like a minimum 750 GB, any recommendations?
PSU:EA-550 Platinum
Sound card: Asus xonar dsx


Several things I'm not completely sure on are wether the psu is strong enough, as well as if all the parts will fit inside my case, and wether or not I should get a cpu cooler.

Also, I was wondering if I could install windows 8 from a usb drive. The only reason I would get an optical drive is to install windows. But if I could install from usb, there wouldn't be much reason for me to buy an optical drive.

As well, are there any wireless internet cards I could get? This is more for convenience than anything else.

Now by all means you dont have to get what i put in the list i just added everything that i think you should get and put it in the list for.

Now first off i dont want to should like a prick but memory is ram and ram is memory. Storage is for harddrives :3

Now to awnsers your questions

Yes your PSU is strong enough

You NEED a CPU cooler or you CPU will overheat but if your were thinking of using the stock one you can do that but i do recommend you get the one that i pick for you if you want to go the fan way OR go liquid cooling

Yes you can Install windows through a USB but on my point of view i think it would just be easier spending the $20 and buying a cheap Optical drive.

For wireless cards i would get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320173

Now a few other things is that i would get a 500GB SSD to put your OS on and your most used software/games so its loads faster

and use a 1TB HHD for everything else.

Anything i didnt cover or if you have any other question feel free to ask

You can really pick any fan you want has long has theres a fan for your CPU your fine but for fans i know that the cooling master fans are normal the best for keeping your CPU cool.

But you can also change your case if you haven't bought it yet.
If you do i would Reckon looking into the Corsair cases there pretty nice and have lots of room
