Solution
PSU: I have no clue, brand and model would be nice

RAM: If you're gonna spend money on fast RAM, might be good to get some Samsung B-die memory so you can operate at 3200MHz. You'll only be able to get 2933MHz max out of the Corsair, possibly not even that. Check your motherboard's QVL.

Everything else: Looks great for a 1080p or entry level 1440p gaming machine

EDIT: Here's the QVL, check for your RAM model number

750w power supply is massive overkill, considering you've selected components that probably won't exceed 200w at stock speeds and no more than maybe 250-280w overclocked under torture testing. Build quality is far more important than wattage, which unit did you have in mind?
