You don't have a psu, also for $30 you could get 16gb ram which is always nice.

wat... $30 for 16GB of RAM? Where the hell do you shop? 8GBs of RAM is $50 in USD... And that's for the cheap ass ugly kits.

What is this computer being used for? Also, why no PSU?

My bad I meant $30 more as in total price of $120

 

Edit. 16 gb of ecc ddr3 can be had for $30 on ebay though. Not applicable in this case, but still possible

Which isn't true. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/dwhj4D/corsair-memory-cmk8gx4m1a2666c16 is what OP should get. Cheapest 16GB kit after that is $124

It's ok, I was just being silly. Easy mistake to make

Although if he chose 2 x 8 gb set for $124 my claim that for $30 more than the $ 84.99 1 x 8 gb he has still stands.

It's a PC for the family. Plan on connecting it to the TV for them to use netflix and whatnot. They'll be gaming on it too but it's light gaming

OK, just wanted to make sure,  under specs on pcpp it stated it does not come with one. If it does that's awesome!

The case listed in the op does not include a psu. The one that does is  Fractal Design Node 202 HTPC Case w/450W Power Supply.

 

You might consider a slightly different build. One that includes a 1TB ssd. Beside neither drive in the OP has a very good reputation.

 

I couldn't find a Cryorig C7 priced on ca.pcpartpicker. The Noctua is a good alternative.

 

Cut the gpu down to the 3GB memory version to fit in the budget. Given the usage, it should not be an issue.

 

Windows 10 OEM license does not allow for DIY builds. Hence the inclusion of a full version.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ this is 200 USD over, but it will wreck everything you throw at it, my friend has this exact build and it works great for him. One note though, you need thr Hue+ in order to control the RGBs on the cooler and the fans
