No quibbles here except for the power supply. 300W is going to be a bit thin at load even with intel GPU, and a HD or two, some USB stuff and you are already pushing almost 200W at load. Also, this power supply is for older style AT boards. You need ATX power supply unless you want to modify plugs and use adapters - and have enough 3.3V and 12V amps. Consider instead: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139198 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153233 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438038 Don't skimp on the power supply. A poor choice can fry all the other components. Also, hope you budgeted heatsink/fan and thermal compound. I new Free Geek has boxes of heatsinks but not all will fit the newer CPUs. Cooler Master and Thermaltake in the $20-30 range are good. Also, I've recently switched from Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound to the non-electrically conductive Arctic MX-4. 8 yr durability, stays soft. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAB7G5F67951 -Ed
