PSU: Seasonic B12 BC 750 W, 80 PLUS Bronze
While Seasonic, for the most part is good, same can't be said about that specific model. B12 BC, at best, is mediocre quality PSU. More like in-between of mediocre and low quality. So, i advise against B12 BC.

If you want good quality unit, get Seasonic Focus. If better than Focus, then Vertex. And if the best, then PRIME.

E.g my 3x PCs are are powered by Seasonic. I have 2x PRIME units and 1x Focus unit.

Rest of the build looks fine. But do replace the PSU and get a proper quality unit.

I've been using only Seasonic PSUs and frankly never had anything higher the Bronze Plus.
So far, I'm pretty happy with the quality of the product and the support from the Seasonic team.

I'll see what I can do, as max I can add is $50. Focus would be the best I can do, as the other models would be out of my budget.

I appreciate the advise!

That's a pretty good build. Unfortunately, it’s a bit beyond my budget.
As I mentioned I already have SSDs.

Does CaseKing offer free shipping?
