Advice on this build.

[saskure]

Recently, my mac of six years died on me, and would be too exspensive to repair, so i decided to come back to pc. This is the build i threw together. Was wondering if i could get some feed back. Plan on using it for gaming (GTA V and Sims4 mostly) and wanted to know if it is capible of that. Budget is 550 so i have a little wiggle room. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, this build is capable of playing any current games, but I would buy a new PSU that's at least 650W. The r9 280 dual-x requires 500W to run.

So the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply would be suitable?

Yes, absolutely!
