After a long delay, I'm finally getting around to building a system to replace my slowly failing Macbook.

This will be used for everyday tasks and 1080p gaming. Would really appreciate feedback, particularly around the PSU and mobo.

Solution
Dont waste your money on that cooler unless the stock AMD one won't clear the PSU (which shouldn't be an issue since you're using an SFX PSU)
