I want to make sure that:

1.) there are no bottlenecks
2.) no super cheap-o brands for the components
3.) the PSU is enough to power all of this
4.) 500GB SSD with no secondary mechanical drive is sufficient
5.) the motherboard is good enough for the components
6.) the fans and cooling are sufficient

thats a solid build, one recommendation would be invest in a higher tier psu, CX_M series is ok, however many people have had issues with the build quality. The wattage is fine for that build, i use 650 watts for a similar build, however i would pick from the RM/RMX/RMI series of psu's as they are higher tier for your price range, just a reccomendation.

Thank you for your response. Do you have any recommendations for a different Cooling and PSU?
