I have linked my build above, and I am curious to have some outside input into the build itself. So far the parts are:


CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Founders Edition Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Wireless Network Adapter: Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi Adapter
Case Fans: Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 67.8 CFM 140mm Fan and Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition (2-Pack) 39.9 CFM 120mm Fans
Monitor: Asus VG248QE 24.0" 144Hz Monitor
Speakers: Logitech Z200 0W 2ch Speakers

In total the price comes to around $2000, which is essentially my budget. Overall, I'm very happy with this build and have done research enough to the point where I feel confident in my choices, however this is still my first build so outside input would be appreciated.

Keep the G2 power supply.
The 650 would save you money and have plenty of power. 750 for more head room.

I had considered buying less than 850, however for someone who will very likely be upgrading or adding in the not far future, is an 850W still a waste?

Is the difference essentially that the GS and b2's are cheaper? That seems to be the case from what I've seen online.
