Feel free to criticize any of my choices and thanks for the help

I will replace 970 with 1070 when it comes out.

I mostly play csgo but i have pre-ordered no man's sky and i am looking into other games like battlefield, tom clancy, shooters or exploration sandbox

you need a power supply the computer wont work without a power supply I suggest you get a 500 to 750 watt one from a company like Antec, Silverstone, Evga, or Corsair

$45 more would get you a Mushkin 1TB ssd

 

$30 for Windows 10 Pro OEM on KingWin (pointed to this software source by @Paul's Hardware)

 

ie $50 saved from os to get double the ssd space

i'll get the oem but doesn't the mushkin have worse performance than the samsung? i don't know how much of an impact that will have
