Hello everyone
while i do have a custom built pc, it was done with a help of a friend and i will be honest,she did most of the work while i watched and tried to absorb as much as i can. Four years down the line the pc has served me well but i figure it is time for an upgrade but i want to do it by myself.
i have been researching for the last few days and i stumbled on a build posted on pcpartpicker
(https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/blog/127/gigabyte-z270X-gaming-7-build) i thought i would follow this word for word purely because there is a video accompanying it and for a first builder like myself that is incredibly helpful.
i decided to make a few changes and i was wandering if any of you more experienced builders will advise me whether what i have done is a step in the right direction or just stick to the professional guide?

As you can see, there are a few components missing and one of the biggest changes i made was going from the i7-7700k to the i5 7600k.
Storage,Optical drive - i have a hitachi 1TB drive in my current build which i plan to use, same for the optical
Power supply - i have a Corsair CXM 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply. would this power supply be sufficient or should i order a new one posted in the professional guide?
I am not too concerned about spending more for higher quality components,
I appreciate any input, thank you in advance
