I'm planing on ordering a few parts tonight/tomorrow so I can start building but I figured I should see if anyone thinks there is anything I should change about it. The only thing I'm unsure of is the power supply, it's the g2 series which is one of the best evga power supplies but I don't think that I'll ever pull more than 550w even in a best case scenario. I know that having a power supply that is too large can cause some issues in your system but would that be fine for this? The only reason I added it is that It's really cheap right now and comparable power supplies with less wattage are around the same price if not more.
 
 
I already have the motherboard and the ssd from when I bought them on black friday of last year since I was able to get both for under $200
For mass storage I have a 500gb wd black of some sort (its like 6+ years old) and two 250gb seagate something or others (they're entirely in Japanese) for a while but I'll probably upgrade to a 1tb wd blue sometime in the future.

I'd recommend a better PSU. The one above is a solid choice or:

BEST PSU for the money.

You will benefit greatly from a fully modular power supply.

I've heard that from litteraly everyone who reccomends anything related to a cpu, I was considering it but it's twice the price, can't really justify getting it :/

It's worth it in the long run. It's dead silent, and it has a 10 YEAR WARRANTY
