That looks very good but I just noticed that you have a 550W PSU. According to the Sapphire Specs (LINK) they recommend a 750W PSU. The GPU alone uses 375W!!. 750W sounds like a lot to me. Some Nvidia cards can do SLI on that much power. The AMD GPUs just need a lot of juice!

I'm sorry that I didn't notice this earlier.

So i was also unaware that i had put that PSU in, i would suggest going this, https://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650gts3x Its non modular, but you'll have to pay a little more if you want the extra perks. 650w should be plenty for this build, it shouldn't really use anything over 500-550w. you cloud always go up to a 750w for peace of mind, its just going to cost a little more. e.g. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg750m
