If you don't need an i7 I would also recommend swapping it for an i5 just because less money spent is normally better lol

Also if you can you may wanna wait a few more months until Kabylake is more of a thing

I disagree about the PSU. He's using almost 400Watts of power on a 550 MAX PSU. Really should give himself a little more overhead

I'd get at least a 600 or 700W PSU. Especially because you can get a MUCH better ATX PSU for like 10 or 20 bucks more
