Your choice is fine but this is a bit better.

 

You're missing the copy of Windows though. (Yes I know where this is going...)

 

 

That PSU is fine for pretty much any system using a 750 ti. Running 3 drives from it should be fine, as well as the connectors for the GPU.

Here is my parts list for my HTPC build.  I am nervous that the PSU will not have enough ports to plug in my SSD, HDD, optical drive, and graphics card.  I am not going to get the graphics card to start.  However, should I choose to upgrade with the graphics card in the future, I am unsure if I will have a place to plug it in.

CPU: Intel i7-4790K @ 4.7GHz --- RAM: Lenovo 1600MHz 16GB --- MOBO: Gigabyte Z97-G7 --- GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0+--- PSU: Corsair CX600 --- Case: Corsair Air 540 --- Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 --- OS: Windows 8.1 --- Monitor: 24" AOC G2460P + Dell 19" --- Mouse: Logitech MX Perfromance --- Keyboard: Corsair K70 (Cherry MX Brown) --- Audio: Sennheiser HD558


Don't buy a GTX 980, it's overpriced! Buy 2 GTX 970s or 2 R9 290s intstead (the R9 290s would even be cheaper)

I'd go for an XFX 550W which can be had for a similar price and is far superior in quality to the NEX PSU, which isn't anything special.

i5 4670k - Z87X-UD3H - EVGA GTX 670 Sig 2 - Samsung 840 Evo 250GB - 8GB Avexir Core White 1600Mhz - Corsair 750D w/ RGB LED Mod & Remote Control - 2x SP120 - 3x Enermax Cluster - 2TB Seagate SSHD - Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 - SuperFlower Leadex Gold 750W

I don't really need anything special it's for a HTPC with very minimal gaming, mostly for emulators. The estimated wattage is only about 300W so I shouldn't be pulling too much from the wall the 80+ bronze will do just fine. Plus through newegg I can get the PSU for only $34 USD
