Looks pretty solid. If you dont have one already, I would recommend getting an ssd to install the os onto, it will just make the system overall faster and more responsive on the desktop. I linked a 240gb and a 120gb, if you can afford the 120 it will be useful to have some extra space otherwise the 120 will do. Otherwise it looks pretty good. For your psu as long as it is around 450w+ and from a reputable brand you should be good.

Very good do not change a thing.

FWIW.
I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you can go 240gb, or 500gb so much the better.

Samsung EVO is a good choice for performance and reliability.

Only thing I can add is when picking a ssd look at the warranty. Bc they do have a tendency to die. I bought a pny ssd 2 years ago, it died in 9 months, they replaced it with a newer model no questions asked. My Samsung 850 pro has a 10 year warranty.

Samsung and Intel source their own nand chips and can offer better warranties.
They can also better validate the match of ssd controller with the ram.

SanDisk ssd+ is a good option. As is crucial MX300 or MX100. The Samsung 850 evo is the SSD to beat though, and that rarely happens in any of the more important tests.

The parts you show are very well balanced, that'll be a nice build, wouldn't change a thing.

Thank you, everyone has been a big help ensuring me that my build is pretty solid. I will be looking in a ssd. Once again thank you for your feedback.
