What is your budget? And do you plan on streaming etc? Because 16gb ram should be enough, but if you have the money....

PSU is way overkill. Go for 550/600 watts (even that is too much for you). 

 

Next to that seems like a true high end build. Might want an normal HDD for storage. 500gb fills up really fast with games these days.

  1. My budget is kinda all over the place, but some where under the 2000$
  2. now that mention it i might get a smaller PSU
  3. and lastly i have 2 HDD from my current PC that i plan to use as storage.

Ye, might keep that PSU if you plan to go SLI in the future though! Otherwise indeed go for a smaller PSU. With that budget, 32gigs of ram should be fine, because why not? ^.^

And storage should be fine :)

 

PS: That is one nice case! :)

The Ram is a bit excessive for a gaming pc. I would drop down to 2 x 8GB.

It wouldn't cost much, plus its good for future proofing IMO.
