The G2 is the good evga power supply. Not the G1. The G2 doesn't come up in partpicker.

You can try the XFX 750 - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750gts3x

or get the g2 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438017 $115

And I wouldn't spend so much on the motherboard. See http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-intel-amd-motherboard,3902.html

Maybe try the ASRock Z97 Extreme 6 instead.

And I'd prefer a MX100 SSD per http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-recommendation-benchmark,3269.html

and a WD black or Seagate Barracuda hard drive.
