Is there anything I should switch out before I buy? I already have a 600w psu and I'm not planning on OC'ing.

Honestly if you dont plan to OC that build looks great to me.

Only thing is 500GB hard drive. Not sure how much space you use/need. So that would be my only concern. I have a lot of HD videos and games so 500 is low for me, your needs obviously will vary.
