Location and budget:

Canada and since I've already purchased my SSD and GPU, I have about $750 CDN left in my budget.

 

Aim:

1440p gaming with high graphics around 60 fps. I plan to run a single 1440p monitor.

 

Peripherals:

I've already got nearly all my peripherals, with the exception of speakers 

 

I've got three questions:

1).Is a 500 Watt powersupply going to be enough wattage for this build? If it is enough do, could I OC my GPU at all?

2).Will my I5-4690 bottleneck my performance at 1440p?

3).Should I be concerned with any of the compatibility notes on PC Part Picker?
