Why are you going original haswell mobo with a haswell refresh CPU?  Are there no good H97 boards available?

You seem to have forgotten the SSD

Not a problem but just a note: that screen will not be really 80000000:1 - that's dynamic contrast, ie, worthless.  Just look at the actual contrast ratio (probably around 1000:1)

 

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

The specific PSU is this one: http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=706699&pid=137

 

TruePower Class 650C

Could get by with 500w, IMO, but looks good. Would also go for an h97 mobo and an SSD, especially if you already have some storage drives.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

At the moment, I need more storage over speed. Eventually, I will get an SSD, for sure. And about the MOBO, I needed something relatively cheap :'(
