Thermaltake Smart series PSU is low quality (Tier four) PSU,
PSU Tier list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

For proper PSU, aim towards good quality (Tier two) PSU, preferably great quality (Tier one) PSU if you can afford it.

Anything from Seasonic will do, e.g M12II-520 EVO or G-550 (both are Tier two units),

Other than that, your build looks good and you're looking towards high/ultra settings @ 1080p with solid 60+ FPS.
