Would run great, but unless your're planning to watercool, don't get the XFX DD card. It looks great and the cooler is silent, but the VRM cooling is practically non-existent and you'll get VRM temps above 100°C on stock voltage. Speaking from experience here.

Really good, but get the MSI Gaming 290, it's better

I like that psu, I actually just bought one for another build, but would you consider stepping up to the NEX750B for more overclocking headroom? I know its a little more money, but in my experience, it's much better to overshoot on psu capacity a bit rather than getting just enough to run the system.

 

 

This one?
