It's fairly good but I'd drop the aftermarket cooler and additional fan and go for an i5 4460 along with a non V300 SSD then get those later.

I'd go with this and change to sleeved extensions as you wont be able to see the psu anyway. and then get the cooler at a later date.

I'm going for a lower cost system though, and I'm going to be using the stock cooler and kept that cooler just in case

Imo the cooling part (rad + add noctua fan) should be removed to upgrad the cpu.

Stay with the stock cooler on a I5 and change it later when you have money.

You also have the option of going back to i5 4690 and a H97 Mobo, use the stock cooler that come with the CPU and save 60 bucks from the CPU Cooler.

Buying a 650w power supply is pointless, I'm just going to be wasting power. I'm not going to be upgrading anything really besides the CPU and ram.

Yes, I agree with you, but it's the same price, and everyone have been saying that Corsair PSU isnt really good so I make a habit of not choosing one for quite a while.

No, in Fact it will safe Power. You should always get a PSU that has more than your System use.

Thats not what everyone say. It depends on the Product and not the Brand.

While this is true, it's only to a certain level. The general rule is to get a PSU with about 100-150W higher than what the system normally use, in the case above it's about 400W, so a 550W PSU is fine. a 650W like I choose dont have any different, and mostly choose because it's the same price and I want to stay away from Corsair PSU. Also it's gold-certified and full-modular = easier cable management

And about the "what everyone said" part, I used to just pick Corsair PSU (the RM and CX series) most of the time because it's cheap, modular, and is 80+ bronze, which is ok. But for whatever reason whenever I do that alot of ppl jump in and say bad things about those 2, so I just make a habit to avoid Corsair PSU out of that now.

People say alot when the Day is long enough. There are good Corsair PSU's and there are not so good PSU's. Like with every other Brand out there.

I would go with the 650w PSU if I was planning to do some upgrades or even a second GPU
