Haven't built a gaming pc in about 7 years. Worried about any bottlenecks. Currently on 1080p, plan to update to 1440 (single monitor). Hoping this will give me Mid/High graphics on upcoming games like Star Citizen and No Mans Sky. Thanks for any input.

Looks good except I wouldn't personally get that PSU. EVGA GS or G2 will be a better choice.
