Are you looking only from Amazon? Components are goof enough except PSU. You don't need 750W PSU and don't get CX series from Corsair. Better stick to Seasonic/XFX/Corsair HX/TX/AX series

 

[xmikeman]

Yes, my goal is to order entirely from Amazon. How many watts would I need? 600 or 650?

 

[EasyLover]

600 to 650W.
