AXi PSUs from Corsair are also good.

did i say i was going to overclock? No... Otherwise i would say so.

1. I recommend buying from a store that price matches so you can get the lowest prices

2. I recommend getting a 380 instead of the 960

3. A 750w PSU is extremely overkill take a look at the 550w GS

4. Consider swapping the board for a MSI board (I can add you to a PM if you want to know why)

5. Consider getting a single 8gb stick so you can upgrade to 16gb later

Might as well get an r9 380 or an r9 290 maybe.  I kinda think a GTX 960 in a build like this is a little underpowered for the money..

wut. Yeah, they're excellent! But they're really expensive, too. An XFX or SeaSonic one will do nicely.
