LitePower's a low-quality PSU...Tier 6 out of 7 in the PSU Tier List:

 

Write performance on the 545s is somewhat low compared to a number of others, but I don't think you'll be dissatisfied with it.  I'd change the PSU though.

I am building a new computer for me and my parents to use, i am less concerned about price to performance (although i am open to suggestions) then i am about it actually working compatibility wise. The heaviest task it will be performing is gaming btw (i already have a graphics card).

 

thanks.

As far as I can tell, yes.  You might try popping your build into pcpartpicker and see if it gives any compatibility warnings.  If you're using the Seagate drive for just media storage or backup I wouldn't bother with the hybrid drive.  Prices seem a bit high for the drive too...a regular 2TB drive is cheap, you can get decent desktop 2TB 7200RPM drive for about USD $65, but I don't know your picture's showing USD, CAD, or Australian dollars.  I'm pricing off newegg.com.  PCpartpicker would hep you search for good prices on your parts though.

The prices are in Australian (AUD). good idea, because realistically anything that does get on the HDD won't matter that much.
