750w is kinda overkill as this is a single graphics card build, but.. the power supply's going for a good price and it'll make it easier to upgrade! Also, this build includes an OS (Windows 8), and you'll have to upgrade to 8.1 through the website.

Does the Spec 03 really have more features/air flow/better cable management options than the 200r? (I have no experience with the SPEC-03.. 😛)
