So I just ordered this, picking up tomorrow, did I do good, or did I dun goof? Pretty much just a gaming rig intended to last me longer than my last one, ~4 years.

Even there I wouldn't spend that much on that high of a wattage power supply unless I know I'm throwing in a second card. @DirtyFish You are adding a second card eventually, right?

I think this PC will serve you well for a long time. But it seems a little strange that you would spend this much on a PC and get a cheapo $12 keyboard and mouse.

 

Also, you could have got a much cheaper PSU, but at least you're paying for Seasonic quality. It's just... well you could have got an EVGA SuperNOVA 850W G2 PSU for $100 less, and it better looking cables and a 10 year warranty, with similar quality components.

If it's for more than 1080p then it's an extremely good build otherwise it's kinda pointless spending the extra cash on the TI also I loled at the multi media bundle I hope that is temporary.

Yeah, I forgot that was in the screenshot, its for my mum, don't worry, I have proper stuff to use haha.

Yeah, I want this build to be flexible, so I get a higher wattage PSU for the future when I want a second card.

I can't explain it, but for some strange reason I fell in love with this powersupply, I dont even know. I plan on sleeving the cables anyway so it doesn't matter.

Currently it is for just 1080p, but I have a bit of money coming my way in a little bit so I'm gonna splurge on a really nice hi-res display, maybe 4K, iunno, haven't made a decision yet. Let's see what comes out in the following months
