Thanks for the feedback. Had a feeling that the PSU was overkill. Is a 500 watt PSU good? I am planning to OC CPU. Also updated "primary storage" to "boot disk"

Welcome to the forum! This build is pretty good, however 8GB memory is good enough if you're just gaming. And you can get a lower wattage power supply like the CS550M, PCPartPicker has a good calculator for that.
