My first htpc / gamer build support request

[beastmstr50]

I am attempting to conduct my first build. I have spent a lot of hours researching since this is my first attempt. I am a big fan of the RVZ01 (not that I have to use SFX power supply!) and the 750 TI. I am trying to stay on a decent budget (~$700-800). Below are my components. I am a little concerned about only 300W power supply, but NVIDIA only used a 300 W supply in their recommended build.

I was thinking of going intel i5 since I am new to this and a little more comfortable with intel vice AMD, but could be pursuaded for to change to lower my budget (already at upper end). I am just not very knowledgeable about how the processors compare.

Additionally, since I am going to be using this as a HTPC, any recommendations for wireless keyboards or mice would be appreciated. All of them seem to have poor reviews. Thanks!

Please let me know if you think I could do better with different / cheaper components without affecting performance. Thanks!

You can do that with 300W. No problem. That CPU and GPU take small sips of power

I am of no help for wireless keyboard or mouse

That power supply should be fine unless you planned on upgrading to a better video card later. As for the keyboard and mouse ive seem to notice its hit or miss with the wireless ones. I bought a nice Logitech setup that worked great so one of my friends bought the same one and it was horrible for him
