80+ Gold instead of Bronze? Lol... The G2 has 88%-90% efficiency. The Antec HCG-620M is based on the SeaSonic S12II, which has a guaranteed 87% efficiency.

This is going to be good for 144Hz 1080P.

can get a copy of windows from kinguin for much cheaper, and for that high end of a build, you might want an ssd in there.

Edit: so maybe like this? there was also that z170 mobo with non-k CPU, not sure if there was a reason for that or no

Kinguin? How do you get it for $20? OEM Windows costs more than $40 for OEMs, and $50 for students. So no.
And don't get an SSD. Computer doesn't reboot enough to warrant for a faster drive. And as long as you have older beta BIOSes, you can OC using BCLK.

As long as you have the buyer protection from Kinguin, you would be fine.
And you can't be sure how much he shuts down or restarts his computer, plus there are plenty of applications that would benefit from a faster drive.
BCLK overclocking isn't the most stable, not to mention that intel is not supportive of that, not sure about the mobo manufacturers

I forgot to ask, what resolution is your monitor?
What games and other programs would you be running?
Would you overclock in the future?

Well if you stick to 1080p, this will be a beast, even with the more demanding games, and if you upgrade to 1440, it will still be capable.

Oh, i guess i accidentally removed the ssd.
I stand by my previous statement about the BCLK, and he stated he probably wont OC.
For the PSU, its true it didnt really matter, but it gives full modularity, which is nice, and 80+ gold instead of bronze. It is also of very good quality.

The previous post is updated.
