Nice build but a couple of things:

1) You've chosen a 850w PSU for a GTX 580. This is overkill for a single card, and not quite enough to meet the recommended for SLI. If you only plan to run 1 card, 650w PSU is enough, if you plan to SLI 900/1000w is recommended.
2) RAIDMAX - not sure of the quality of these PSU's but generally recommended brands include: Corsair, XFX, SeaSonic, Enermax, OCZ, Anetc

I see the problem, it's a shame. Oh well guess there's really nothing I can do about it now lol

Always post BEFORE buying - TOP TIP!

Either way, you'll have loads of fun with that 580 Awesome gaming performance
