Hi i'm not an expert but i don't see any problem especially for 2k gaming for this build. Tho for this build your PSU would be overkill unless you plan to use it for later more power hungry builds. You could change it for 750w.

Here is a cost optimized build with PCPP prices. if you can find any of these parts for cheaper or an equivalent cheaper part substitute them in. The NZXT C1000 is a Seasonic CWT made, very good PSU that is much cheaper than the HX1000.

The NZXT C1000 is a Seasonic made very good PSU that is much cheaper than the HX1000.

NZXT C series is made by CWT not seasonic .
but thats even better these days if you ask me .

Well, in my defense, the C850 used to be made by Seasonic.
