get a 650W PSU instead and a noctua nh-d15 for cooling if your fine with air

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

1-Overkill motherboard, you can get away with a cheaper one if you want to save up since they don't cause a massive difference.

 

2- You can save up in the power supply, no need for 750W, maybe 650W-550W.

It's compatible, intel had been using the same mounting since the stone age.

It's not socket or mounting that has me concerned it is clearance with the shroud and pcie/m.2 of mobo that I am unsure of.

There is no need to worry, the PCI E is too far away and the m2 slot is basically flat to the board so there is no way to interfere with it.

What if the 750 is cheaper/similar price... does it matter that I have an overkill PSU?

It won't damage the build at all to have an overkill PSU, so if it's a similar price or cheaper then by all means get the 750.
