Does this build look good?

I am building a new gaming pc and these are the parts I have chosen. Please let me know if they are all compatible. My main concerns right now are - will the PSU be good enough to handle the system, will the graphics card fit in the case, and is the mobo of good enough quality? I already have purchased the GTX 1070 founders edition and have purchased a 1tb HDD.

I'd opt for 16 GB of RAM instead of just 8, assuming you're going to be gaming. I'd also probably go for the i5 6500 instead of the 6400, simply because of the higher clock speed.

Also, use this as a reference for PSU's.

Edit #2: Switch out your SSD to this.

Also, any 16GB DDR4 2400 speed RAM you want you could get. Since most of it is personal preference. Here's my recommendation for ram

I do plan on upgrading to 16gb of ram in the future im just trying to save money at the moment (about to go to college). While this build is for gaming, to be perfectly honest I am ok with playing 1080p 30FPS medium settings. I know this build is completely overkill for those purposes. Im not trying to squeeze out every single possible additional fps, so saving the extra few bucks for slightly less performance is fine with me. As far as the PSU, even with that guide I am still not sure if I should get that EVGA 600B. But your input is appreciated.

I have the 750 Watt G2 and absolutely love it. Since you're on a budget this should be fine for your build: PSU

Quick Edit: That image tells you what series of PSU's have the better build quality. You don't want to skimp out on your PSU and possibly have it wreck your entire rig. Spend the extra money to get something quality, especially when you;re dropping $450 on one component.

Otherwise, I would save up and wait a couple months until you have more money, that way you can get everything you need in one go and not be forced to make sacrifices right now. Otherwise, go for a 390 or RX 480. You'd be saving $200 and still maxing out performance.
