So I think I've gotten everything just right, but just in case does anyone see any problems/ have any suggestions. I already have a high end Alienware laptop so this is just for when I'm at home. Comes up at just under $800.

Please see the PSU guide linked in my sig.

I would be hard-pressed to find a poorer PSU choice. I guarantee you it is over-rated and actually capable of something under 500W. Most of that power will be out of ATX spec and so harmful to components.

Here's the real deal at the same price:

That's a decent quality PSU at a good price. It's more power than your build needs though.

Here's a SeaSonic S12II 520

That's a higher quality PSU with a great warranty and still more power than you need.
