Are the components that I have selected for my new computer good and will they work well together?

I do not want to overclock.

Would you recommend me to change something?
Is the PSU enough?
Is an SSD necessary?

Thank you for your help.

Yup, he's right... you don't think if he doesn't overclock anything he will be fine with just a stock cooler?

He should be fine but I think hes trying to do some gaming on it so a different cooler would help. I just hope he doesn't screw up the cpu installation

Thats actually a great cooler and I have one in use for my desktop. It gets the job done very well and for a low cost

I have an older model of this that has an intake and exhaust fan that works well. I do like my cooler master products.

Do you think i should buy an SSD? or is it not really necessary? I have in mind a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB

Yes an SSD will mainly make load times nothing... click and it's ready to go. From there on out, the only things your SSD will help with are reading and writing file times, most of everything else goes to RAM. Depending on what you use most, it doesn't really effect the overall performance.

I personally don't trust or see the need for a single terabyte drive, seems like you want it for A LOT of data, movies and crap. Not to mention I can usually get impatient imaging/cloning/backing up a 500Gig drive... can't imagine a 1TB and losing that much data at once? Haha, I always worry about the least likely things, but very possible to avoid them.

So, if you're gonna go the SSD route... you can go 128Gigs dedicated to OS/Programs. And find another HD for all the dumb stuff you collect in its lifetime. I personally stretch my data across multiple drives, smaller drives to me means faster load times.

Not to mention it is always so wise to keep your OS away from your stupid data stuff, preferably separate drives but at least separate partitions.
