Hey everyone, I'm new to building computers and would like a second opinion before I commit to buying all the parts. After a few days of research I think this is a solid build for what I am looking to do (mostly gaming). I plan to have this last me for several years and I don't want to spend more then 1200$-ish. Any feedback is welcomed and appreciated.

It would be fine for 650W. Also, as far as your RAM goes, if you plan on having 16 GB in the future, I would recommend going with a single stick of 8 GB and then adding in another one if you're ready to upgrade later. I ran it in a list just to double check myself and that PSU should be fine for a single R9 390. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/V7FLQ7

Very Nice Build, although I myself would've liked to go with a lower wattage PSU to save money. Its definitely upgrade able in future as well, and coming from someone who's running an NH-D14 in their system, the choice of the cooler is great. Only recommendation is to buy a 650W EVGA PSU to save money. Keep me posted.
