You'll need some more info to get the advice you need. Check out the sticky at the top of the forum that explains asking for new build advice.
IE. What will it be used for, when will you make the purchase, etc.

Quick comment, I'd go with a better power supply brand such as corsair, seasonic, pcp, or fps. You will spend $50 more on a good psu, but the $30 won't fry your entire investment.
