That's a good build for $770. The only thing I would have changed is the PSU, as the CX series from Corsair aren't the best. Not that I am saying you should return it, but the CX series isn't the top notch quality you would expect from Corsair. TechCIDLC said:
You made a bad decision in the power supply. The power supply you bought is entry-level, and low-quality. You had to buy a power supply from SeaSonic or Antec.Everything else is completely fine.
so r u saying to return it and buy a better one? because i cant cancel it and i dont wanna wait for another one, is it doable and how long will it last?

If you already ordered it and it's onit's way, I would keep it. just kep in min that it probably won't last for 5+ years like a higher tire PSU, eg anything from SeaSonic, XFX, Antec, or Corsair AX, AXi, HX, and TX. oh man in five years i will probably have a whole totally different set up as im working
btw im 14 and i am not THAT spoiled
im gonna pay back my parents soon-

I personally think that 6 months is an exaggeration. It should comfortably last you 3 years or so.
77% is not a very high load. Corsair say that their power supplies can supply their rated wattage almost indefinitely. Under practical conditions, I'd say 3 years.
High current loads means that the +12V rail which is usually the heaviest in a modern power supply, is used at most, or all of its capacity. It's not an official term, though.
The processor and graphics card will consume a max of 275 W under full load, but the power supply 12V rail is rated for 408W, so you should be fine. It only comes to around 2/3 of max load.
