Really good build.

You MIGHT want to get a larger HDD if you have a lot of media and what not.

Also 550W is a tad on the small size

Looks good mate,

All i really have to say is maybe to run the math on the PSU, I'm not sure 550 watt is quite enough, I may be wrong, but i think its a touch low especially if you're looking at maybe adding another gpu at some point. You can use a PSU Calculator and stuff to figure it all out but other than that the build is fine! Good work!

TBH, i dont think you need much more power, i run a 700 watt, and thats heaps for the system i'm running, even when it ran 2 gpus.

the ssd is really small, i would save up for at least 500gb personally. other than that it looks good, psu is a bit on the low side but without too much overclocking its fine. if you realy want to  overclock i would look at 600 watt or 650. if you just want to be set for the future go with 750 thats all you will need with sli and stuff like that, its more than you will ever need.

Updated build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FKpYRG

Different cooler if you plan to OC. 212 Evo is not really the best. You spend a lot for this build then let's make cooing better. Dark Rock Pro, Noctua or Cryorig are good

 

Get a 2 TB drive, cheaper than buying 2 seperate drives

 

Also 120GB SSD is limited trust me

Not bad.

Though SSD could be better.

Like adata XPG series or OCZ trion.. or samsung 850 evo if u have the money.

U may need a larger HDD for storage devices.

550w is plenty enough for single GPU.

and psu calculator is not accurate.

 

Agreed. 750w is not needed, especially when it is a NEX psu. The original G2 was better
