I'm planning on buying a new psu in a couple of months. I was wondering if all these parts are good and compatible. And if that build make sense. Thanks

For the record, I agree with Logan. Sure, it's another $80-100, but it'd suck to have your current low quality PSU fry all your new components.

It's less convenient to install a new OS SSD later on than a PSU swap, but if you can't squeeze the pocket book any further, trade the 500GB SSD I recommended for the PSU.

That PSU needs to go. Ultras are not quality power supplies.

Which PSU should I get?
