I appreciate any help you can provide. Any help is appreciated. I'm buying parts for my gaming PC; in theory, all the parts should work, but I'm a novice in this area. I'm checking if all these parts are compatible and would work.
Thank you again.

Get a different power supply, Razer lies about its specs on the product page. That's an 840w power supply not 1200w.

I get the impression you like your Razer gear but when it comes to power supplies, any brand that misrepresents its power output is to be given a wide berth. And in this instance, Razer aren't being truthful about the total wattage.

If you want a good and powerful unit with plenty of headroom, a 1000w Corsair RM/RMX would be a far better shout.

Yup, I'm a Razer fan. I see you have a point. I will look into that one as an alternative. Do you have a suggestion for 1200W?
Thank you

Would this work?

Awesome thank you

No worries. That HX is a truly excellent unit, you can't go wrong with it. I'm betting it has a 10 year warranty, which tells you all you need to know about Corsair's confidence in their product.

Very glad you're taking that over the Razer, the rest of your hardware choices are also excellent and they deserve this quality. Your power supply is the beating heart of your system.
