There is nothing wrong with that build. I'm not a huge fan of the PC mate motherboards, but thats more of a personal bias, there's nothing functionally wrong with them. You are missing a GPU (unless you plan to use the internal HD530 in your i5). I've never heard of that PSU before, so i cant recommend for or against it, but Johnnuguru seems to think its good enough, so you're doing fine there. everything else is A-ok in my books

My GPU will be the GTX 1070, and should I switch my power supply, or will it accustom to my build? Thanks.

why are you spending so much on a stupid keyboard?

what's the going price for a 500g or bigger ssd these days?

I don't see a graphics card..??

The keyboard looks good, and it remains in my budget.

No idea, that's why I asked for help.

It will be the GTX 1070, it just hasn't been released yet.

1070. awesome choice! =)

As far as PSU goes, I wasn't trying to bash it. I was just saying that I haven't heard about it before so I cant say for sure that it would be good or bad. Jonnyguru has a review about this specific PSU (Jonnyguru.com is known for their reliable reviews of PSU's) and they give it a 9/10, which is a very respectable score. Their only complaint is that it has some power regulation issues, but assuming you aren't going for the bleeding edge of overclocking while also consuming nearly all of its available 550W, so I seriously doubt this would affect you. So no, your PSU should do fine. You don't need an expensive and mainstream PSU to end up with a quality product.

Here is that review if you wanted to look it over, I kind of just glanced through the conclusion page for this information, but feel free to look through it in case I've made you feel paranoid (and if I did, my apologies)
