I am pretty nervous as I have been out of the game for awhile. My last build was nearly 7 years ago but that rig is still kicking and it even had a couple of recycled parts. The last of my parts will arrive today and I will be elbow deep in wires until midnight . Feel free to drop any tips for a rusty hobbyist! Oh and here is the build. The monitor will be purchased at a later date, as I decided to go all out on the GPU.

Problem, you got the bad EVGA Supernova powersupply.
Return it if you can, and get a G2 or G3.
i.e. this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/y88H99/evga-supernova-g3-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-g3-0650

Also the H60 isn't a super great water cooler, and you could get a better air cooler for the same price.

That model is tier 4 PSU, while G2 or G3 is tier 1

There are a lot of complicated reasons PSUs are good or bad. The NEX is made by a known not very good manufacturer(FSP), with not very good parts, but has a sticker from a usually good manufacturer (EVGA).

Thank you for letting me know. I am sad puppy now 🙁 , I missed same delivery by 30 mins lol. I can get it by tomorrow though.

Is the 750 sufficient for my rig or should I bump up to the 850?

It's more than you need. That's why I linked a 650w model.

Thanks again for your input. I have ordered the 650W G2; I hate that it is impossible to buy parts locally but it is what it is.

In reference to the cooler, I will just use the one I bought. I do not doubt your advice but I'll just make do for now. I did order a better fan for that system though. I actually order better fans for the entire case as well.

The cooler is less of a problem than the PSU is, it'll just result in maybe higher temps, the PSU could cause weird performance issues.
