PCPartPicker is a godsend for checking compatibility. I doubt anyone here can/will spot issues beyond what PCPartpicker can assure. Your build looks good. with the exception of the Kingston V200 series SSD. There are better SSDs and Kingston's is deceptive in that they changed the NVRAM after reviewer copies went out.

I've not seen a tier list of SSDs and usually recommends Samsung, since they are usually low-prices and always in the top tier of performance - the "gold standard", so to speak.

The other thing were PCPartpicker isn't good is to help with the quality of the PSU. There, however, you made a good choice.

Hope it works out for you. Have fun with your PC.

Decent compatible build. I'd want a bit more robust CPU cooler, like the CRYORIG H7 (It's smaller too), at least and a bigger, and hence faster SSD. 240Gb is my minimum for size today. That will hold OS + a couple of big games and enough space for efficient TRIM (Garbage collection) Bigger drive are also faster.
