I plan for this build to last me 3 years maximum. I will use this pc for gaming and school. Any suggestions? or things I should change? Should I wait for Nvidia's new GPUs? I was also wondering if 650W is enough if I overclock my CPU? Thanks

Everything looks good apart from the GPU. Why not get an aftermarket model?

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
