$400 is not worth manual labor to build a pc like that. Unless they're hardline-watercooling it.

850 watts is more than enough, probably 650-750 is what you should look towards. And with your budget you should really look into M.2 SSDs.

I would spend a lot less on premium stuff like those WD Blacks or Dominator Platinum RAM, and instead try to squish out a 3 monitor surround setup or even think about a comfortable chair and desk. That's all I can say for now though, gotta go and Merry Christmas from your favorite shrike!

What do you suggest in replacement of the Dominator Platinum and the WD Blacks?

I want at least 2 TB of space, and 1 backup. Should I go for the 5400RPM?

 

Edit: I am choosing to go with the G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3000Mhz (I'm not sure if the 3200Mhz is necessarily better for gaming / noticeable). This saved me like $50

 

Thanks!

 

Also I don't like more than 1 monitor for some reason

I think M.2 is not worth it right now. I'll try lowering the wattage and how much it costs

I specced a similarly priced build with an m.2, and the price difference is minor in such a price bracket.

[sourpatches]

What is the best Power Supply (750 watts)?

 

EVGA, Corsair, coolermaster or seasonic?

 

Edit: I picked the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W

I need to figure out my fan configuration. 

Anyone have experience with the Corsair 760T?

Edit: Changed the GPU from Gigabyte to ASUS
