I have a build right here, however I need to know if my PSU will provide enough power for my build. Since I won't be overclocking, I'll probably need you guys to help me suggest another good budget MoBo and CPU too.

Case: CoolerMaster Storm Enforcer
PSU: XFX ATX 550W
MoBo: Asus Z87-K ATX LGA1150
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (4GBx2)
Video Card: Powercolor Radeon HD 7870 XT 2GB
Storage: WDC Blue 1TB
Optical Drive: Asus DRW–24B1ST
O.S.: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 OEM

Help? :) Thanks in advance.

Do you want to keep a possibility for crossfire?
Its a important decision for a gaming build.
A good crossfire will require another motherboard because you want dual 8x PCI Express 3.0 at least.
For instance, ASUS Z87-A.

i5-4430, i5-4440, i5-4570 and i5-4670 are all good options for a no-overclocking build. My pick is this i5-4570 for $160 at Microcenter.

+1 to this advice.

With the money you save here you might be able to squeeze a better GPU into your build

Nope, won't be going Crossfire or SLI. This gaming rig will probably need to last me at least 3 years without OC. Anyways, I think using the stock fan that comes with the CPU is sufficient if I'm not overclocking so its ok to remove the cooler fan from my build right?
