I couldn't see any technical problems with the build itself. Everything looks compatible and an easy setup.

Didn't check the TPD vs. your PSU, but I reckon you're alright.

Just be aware that'll mean switching CPU and Motherboard, which could also change everything else; you need to check that the RAM speed is supported by your CPU and motherboard sockets, that there's enough PCIe slots for your GPU (and you also want a PCIe slot that runs at x16 or higher for a single GPU) and you should consider upgrading the PSU to a Gold Certified.

the psu he picked has great reviews, i wouldn't worry too much about the 80 plus certification, especially since it already has bronze
