Hi there @kyoto-moe!

 

The build looks solid, but I agree with @ANewFace about the PSU. Unless you're planning to go SLI you can easily pick a 500-550W power supply unit (golden or platinum if possible for more efficiency) since the PSUs work most efficient at 70-80% of the labeled capacity.

 

Also, what is the purpose of the build - gaming, programming, everyday computing or?

 

Cheers! :)

You build is compatible, this is just for my fun:

 

 

Run the CPU stock until you need the speed.  Then buy a CPU cooler.
