@LukeSavenije Very nice if that allows him to have a 1070TI! can definitely recommend.

Maybe consider a gold certified PSU but thats all

NEVER assume on effecienty. But I saw that some evga psu's are getting on sale the last while. something like a g2 or t2 wouldn't hurt here, but a cx550m is still a great psu for the price

No problem, have fun with it!

I'd suggest ditching that PSU as the CX series had a bad rep. It's meant for basic builds not higher end. I had a CX750M at one point and it really wasn't good. See my post here if you want to see other's opinions on the CX series.

I'd recommend this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/sMM323/evga-supernova-g3-550w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-g3-0550

it's worth the extra money.
