Better card + cheaper PSU, but still awesome + cheaper MoBo, but identical.

is 550w enough? sorry i'm new to computer building and am a complete noob so don't be harsh and if you could just continue to post more builds for around $1300 mainly for gaming


Yes it's enough even if you OC. I don't really have any " backup " builds. This is the one I recommend.
