Hi

I am looking to build a quiet (as a priority) mid tier gaming PC, and have chosen the following parts:

GTX 970 Asus Strix OC
i5 6600k
Noctua NH-D15
Corsair RM 550
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
8G Kit (4Gx2) 2666 Kingston HyperX FURY
Fractal Design Define r5
Samsung 850 EVO 250gb
Seagate Barracuda 2TB

So the questions I have are:

1) Is the power supply enough?

2) Should I go with the 2TB Seagate Barracuda or 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue?
(Have seen some poor reviews on the Seagate).

3) Any recommendations/suggestions on this build?

Thanks

yes the power supply will supply enough power.
and go with the 2TB Seagate Barracuda, from personal experience, seagate drives are excellent and have had many WD drives fail on me, especially laptop ones
and other than that your pc looks great

Thanks for this. Forgot to mention I'm going to be overclocking the CPU (I'm new to overclocking), if I overclock it to the maximum possible with the parts provided, will the 550 watts still be enough? Given that I would be playing games on ultra settings on a single 1440p monitor, this would supposedly put high loads on the PSU.
