Why don't you get a 1440p display, cheaper sata ssd, cheaper cpu and mobo (ryzen 2, since you'd be playing on a higher res than 1080p ryzen 2 won't bottleneck and you won't need an aftermarket cooler) and you can step down to a 600/650w psu
you'll save: $176.88 on the cpu and cpu cooler (you'll also save some on the mobo). you'll save around $30 depending on the sata ssd you get (possibly more). save more than $30 and get this psu. So a total of around $295
you can get an Acer G247HYU for $230, you can find better deals on 1440p monitors tho
You'll get an overall better experience for slightly less money
>Always spend at least 100$ on a good power supply.
The fuck is wrong with you. A decent $60 will do just fine for MOST builds you'll see here.
Just don't buy super cheap $30 trash or things suspiciously cheap.
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Continuous-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_27?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1462332888&sr=1-27&keywords=power+supply
Would be more than enough with 10 year warranty UNDER $100
Don't always spend "at least $100"
You don't know wtf you're talking about.
How do you know a cheaper psu wouldn't have saved your PC from either? Legitimately how do you seem to know for sure?
Sorry in advance if this is a bit of a spammy post, it's been growing in each topic I put it in as I assemble more and more info for people.
I've posted about this in a couple different threads so I'll just copypasta some of it here.
The cost for my setup, not including the drives (of which I had quite a few laying around from other builds) and an unRAID Pro License, was about $800 all together.
It can do pretty much everything you've asked except maybe Live TV PVR, but that's only because of a limitation in the Plex unRAID Docker itself. So if you plan on running Plex in the Docker that's gonna be the case no matter what you end up running it on hardware wise.
I have about 40 friends around the globe who regularly access my server and the only real bottleneck I've encountered is my upload speed when too many streams are pushing out at once.
__
You can make a good unRAID rig for FAR cheaper if you simply use older server components, for example:
SuperMicro X8DT3-LN4F Motherboard ($89.99)
2x Intel Xeon X5650 LGA1366 CPU's ($43.48 each)
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 Watt 80 Plus Gold Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99)
Some DDR3 ECC Server RAM, Usually pretty cheap ($24.00)
Then you just need any EATX capatible case, any two LGA1366 coolers, and any drives you want. All together your probably looking at no more than $600-700 for a system that will likely preform the same if not better than the setup you posted but will have 12-Cores (24 Hyper-threaded) @ 2.66Ghz
I should point out that I ALREADY have this style of setup working with unRAID, so this is not theory but a proven concept. I found as many of the original sources that I used as I could, but I made this a while ago so not all were current. Either way tho, the price for doing this kind of setup only tends to go DOWN over time, so it will only get easier to put together. Heck I've seen some sales of the X8DT3-LN4F Motherboard that come with RAM & CPU's already, so you might be able to pick up a complete setup for about the same cost as getting it piece by piece.
__
The only thing I would really add to the above is that the SAS module on the above motherboard actually has issues with operating Drives larger than 2TB, so If you want to add more than the 6 SATA 3TB+ drives that the Mobo nativly supports, your gonna need a PCIe SATA expansion card, such as This One that I ended up using.
I also have had some boot issues with the SAS function enabled in general, so if you do end up going with the above board I would just leave it disabled.
Also I would highly recommend watching most of Space Invader One's unRAID tutorial videos. Especially the ones about Docker CPU pinning and optimization plugins.
__
On my current setup I am running:
Dockers --
Plex, PlexPy (Plex Statistics and Notifications, I'm using it to run a Discord Bot that announces when new things are added on the server to friends), Omni (Plex Request System), Radarr, Sonarr, Jackett (Lets Radarr & Sonarr search private & public torrent trackers automatically), Deluge (Bittorrent Client), OpenVPN (For secure remote access over VPN) & Krusader (File Manager, Booted on Demand)
VMs --
Windows 8.1 VM (As a VNC GUI remote interface and to run ExtractNow to automatically deal with rared or zipped media torrents) & Windows 10 VM (Passing through a GTX970 and being used as a Steam In-Home streaming Client. Hooked directly up to a 4K TV so I can stream games from my main High End Gaming Rig to my TV. Booted on Demand)
Plugins --
A Bunch from the Community Applications Suite (Auto Turbo Write Mode, Auto Update Applications, Backup/Restore Appdata, Cleanup Appdata, Config Editor), Several Dynamix Plugins (Cache Directories, File Integrity, SSD TRIM, System Information, System Statistics), Fix Common Problems, Nerd Tools, Tips and Tweaks, Unassigned Devices, unBALANCE, User Scripts
Drives --
Nine 3TB HDDs (1 For Parity & 8 For Storage), One 120GB SSD (Cache)
__
Looks like you can get a refurbished X8DT3-F for about $120. The only real difference between the X8DT3-F and X8DT3-LN4F is if they have 2 or 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports.
I actually have all 4 of mine connected to a high speed switch then into my router as a load balanced bond (effectively getting 4xGigabit speeds, at least within my LAN, which IS useful when streaming 4K games from my gaming PC to the server's client VM) but for most setups both boards are effectively equivalent.
This is outlined in the wiki, but I'll give my opinion here.
The EVGA Supernova 650w G1 will likely be your best bet here. This is for a few reasons:
Since you are doing 6-pin risers, you can convert from molex. Grab these adapters and you'll be set.

I wouldn't reccomend it. i've heard bad things about those cheap corsair PSUs, get a good EVGA one. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1492250880&sr=1-3&keywords=EVGA+600W
Best I can recommend is the EVGA 650 SuperNOVA G3 here. However, it is $100 right now which is a bit expensive for it. I only like fully modular power supplys and love the eco switch on the G3, however, if you want a lower cost go for the superNOVA NEX here. Good luck!
edit: Please note the NEX does not have a eco switch, which keeps the fan not running in low power idle situations. The G3 has it. I recommend 650 for future upgrades.
edit 2: That moment I notice you're Aussie
The green CX series is pretty notorious for having quality issues and I don't think many people would recommend getting it when there are plenty of alternatives.
I'd recommend something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Continuous-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/?tag=logicaincrem-20
The 650 watt but This is a better deal than both of them
Does it have to be new? I just bought this for $55 on Amazon Warehouse Deals with 20% off.
Looks good. But that PSU is really expensive. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-ATX12V-Supply-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405969637&sr=8-1&keywords=650w+psu
Is much better for the price.
Good question. Typically, 80 Plus Gold PSUs have higher quality components that are more reliable and less likely to damage your system. Think of it as insurance to protect your top-end i7 CPU and GTX 1070. Example of a good Gold rated PSU for only $5 USD more: https://amzn.com/B00K85X2AW
For a budget build planning to expand in the future, you need some good bones to work with. I would put a case towards the top of the list. It's something you're going to keep for years so don't feel bad about $100 to $150 here. Next most important is the power supply. If you plan on getting a second video card in the future, you're going to need a better power supply. Buy something nice now so that when you go to get a second card, or even just a nicer one, you don't end up having to buy another PS first. For less money and better quality I would recommend this one. http://amzn.com/B00K85X2AW Not only is it cheaper, but it's more watts AND it's fully modular. If you stick to the same price point, you could get 750W which is what you will need as a bare minimum to SLI/Crossfire with some cards. Motherboard is the third priority. You can get a few years out of a solid MB. Plus MBs determine what upgrades you can get in the future. Case, MB and PS to me are the most important, all the others you can upgrade your will.
I had my eye on this one,
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
any good? There are plenty of great reviews about it
far superior psu on amazon for just ten bucks more
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
If it's modular don't reuse the cables on another PSU. Good way to fry it. Go EVGA or Seasonic for the new one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00K85X2AW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1496254776&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=evga+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=41VrZifF-%2BL&ref=plSrch
Hi, I appreciate the comment. I was considering this PSU https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER and no I already have the NZXT 410 phantom case
how can i tell if my psu is failing or if something else is wrong? i started to play shadow of mordor and my computer randomly shut off three times. i opened it up to check everything and clean it up, but it still shut off when i started to play again. the computer is currently on, has a temp. of 80 degrees F and it's working without a problem.
my psu is currently this one:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
1st off on the case, the case I recommended had fans with it already as well. The Rosewill had more and better fans, but is smaller. I think that would be good as it would save you $50.
As for PSU, if you get the cheaper case, I would recommend Corsair RM Series 650 Watt 80+ gold certified.
If not, for $77/$80 the EVGA Supernova 650w g1 or Corsair CS Series 650 Watt
Really though, any 80+ gold certified 650W PSU will do very nicely. Maybe a little too much if you would like to get other things, you could could save by getting a 80+ bronze certified one. As long as it's 650W. Some brands to note are Rosewill, Corsair, and EVGA
This my Power Supply
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
650
Great, thank you! So, I'll remove CPU cooler from the list. By taking a little set up, does this also apply to booting up the pc slow?
BTW, How about this PSU?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Here's my PSU.
I know where everything goes... except this.
Just finished assembling my first build with the help of a friend and my MB is giving me some beep codes that don't seem to correspond to any that are listed on the website (for some reason, the manual doesn't have them listed).
Whenever I turn the computer on, it will proceed to emitt 5 LONG beeps then shut off and boot up again just to beep 5 more times. I am 99% sure it is long beeps because they last just over a second or so each. There is just no way those are short beeps. I have already tried booting without ram and with only 1 of the 2 sticks of ram each. I made sure they were seated properly also. I am just completely out of ideas and the internet seems to have no help.
Here are some of my specs:
MB: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128843
CPU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
RAM: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013H7Q86C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Video Card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IPVSGEC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
PSU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's a completely new OS installation and not even the same harddrive my 570 ran on.
I've posted my specs before looking for help on other subreddits but no one could ever identify what would be causing the issue.
2500k (overclocked to 4.6Ghz)
Motherboard
DDR3 16GB of RAM (overclocked to 1866Mhz)
The R9 390 is the MSI one
PSU
Samsung 1TB 850 Evo SSD as main storage (OS and games)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 i already did this and it didnt smell particularly bad compared to everything else
Whats the difference between the EVGA GS, G1, G2?
I think my EVGA GS 550w PSU keeps killing my motherboards/HDDs/SSDs. I posted this last night didn't get much response.
Since the RMA turn around for EVGA's PSU's is 6-12 days I need to just buy a new one off Amazon Prime so I'll have it Thursday. Should I get the G1, G2, or a 550W g2.
Is there any chance EVGA will cover the damaged parts? I'm out over $300 after all this which I really hadn't budgeted for when I planed my rig.
I changed mine out relatively soon after purchase.
Suggestion, get a modular PSU (which means cables are plugged in, "as needed"), and probably somewhere in the 600-800W range.
Also, gold or better grade.
Here is the one I'd suggest: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00K85X2AW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495321956&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=evga+psu&dpPl=1&dpID=41VrZifF-%2BL&ref=plSrch
Wouldn't hurt to buy an anti static band ($5) to avoid static shock of components... especially if in and out of the case a lot. (You wear this whenever touching internal components)
What about the EVGA PSU?
Shoot, I misread what you posted slightly and went ahead and have bought these parts so far:
Case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BKX75YA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Power Supply: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K85X2AW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hard Drive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088PUEPK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Everything will still fit in this case right?
Yeah its modular. Here's a link to the exact model https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00K85X2AW?pc_redir=T1
My psu in my pc broke so I had my brother send my extra psu, which is the 650w, to me. For the summer I'm living about four hours or so from my apartment for my job, and I forgot to have him send the cord along with the psu. I've seen online that you can buy complete sets of cables but all I need is the 24 pin one.
Sorry for the confusion. Yes I just about it. Newegg has a $25 rebate for it right now so I jumped on it.
I agree about the PSU, probably getting this
This will be a really solid power supply. It's a bit on the expensive side, but you shouldn't have any issues and it should last you for several years.
Sorry, had the wrong graphics card in that list. fixed now.
Okay, I was acutally planning on getting one that is a level down.
Until I can get a new PSU, is there anything I can do to make due with what I have? Or is this a situation where there really isn't another option without causing risk to the new card?
So I blew my budget, but I've decided to go with this power supply and this case. See any issues?
Repost after first was removed:Fixed links(I think, again)

Alright, I've whittled down to this. Is this good? I figured, well, hell with it. I may as well not have a bomb in my room, let alone my computer!
I would say:
Your RAM is expensive, look into Corsair LPX 2133mz or more, good cheap RAM.
Noctua is a great brand in anything fan, even though it's ugly.
Your power supply, EVGA is a great brand but the NEX items are not their best, look at their G1.
Not sure why the case says it's incompatible with the CPU fan but either way you should look into something with a window.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_AGysybGMFY39C
Also curious, is there a specific reason you're going with a Zotac SSD?
What do you guys think of this power supply, I live in Quebec and electricity is pretty cheap, do you think Bronze would be a cheaper alternative to Gold in the long run? I'm looking at this http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182132&nm_mc=AFC-C8JunctionCA&cm_mmc=AFC-C8JunctionCA-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10592396&PID=3938566&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-%zn
75$ - 7.5$ + 10$ ship + tax = 81.35$
VERSUS
https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
99$ + tax = 113$
Ah okay! Tyvm. :)
One last question; would this one be suitable?
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/
Graphics Card
It looks like you want to play at 1080p resolution(which is great btw) @60fps or higher. You also seem like you might want to try VR later. Your best options for a graphics card is the 1070 or a 1060. The 1060 is a cheaper option with VERY good performance. Depending on the model you get, you can achieve close performance to a 1070 for under $300.
CPU
To be completely honest with you, an i7-6700k sounds nice and all, but in terms of gaming, its not all that. You want to do streaming and stuff right? Well an i5 6600K would do fine for streaming most games. It really just depends if you're willing to cut cost by looking at performance efficiency. If you don't mind then by all means go with the i7, its a great cpu of course.
Motherboard
*I'm not really sure, if you're getting a k-cpu then you should probably get a z170 board. If you care for aesthetics, I suggest this https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboards-GA-Z170X-Gaming/dp/B012N6E996/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482194155&sr=1-2&keywords=z170+motherboard, and https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Performance-Z170A-Motherboard-3X/dp/B01CX4VJP0/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1482194948&sr=1-6&keywords=z170+motherboard. I'm not an expert on motherboards but a good msi z170 that looks this nice can't be bad.
You should know that if you decide to go 1440p, you're only gonna be getting 60hz unless you want to spend $500< on a higher refresh rate monitor.
Here's a Gold-Certified 650W thats only about $5 more than the one you have listed. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482195157&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=gold+certified+power+supply.
If you decide to go with an i5 and 1060 instead, then you end up saving a couple hundred which you can use for things like a better case or custom sleeves for aesthetics. If you keep that monitor, then I recommend keeping the i7 and getting a 1060 instead.https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Gaming-GV-N1060G1GAMING-6GD-Graphics/dp/B01IEA1IMQ/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482195400&amp;sr=1-8&amp;keywords=gtx%2B1060&amp;th=1
All and all its a pretty good build and I wish you the best of luck
Alright, after considering what you said and because my PSU is still refundable with Amazon, I've decided to ship it back and replace it with this EVGA PSU.
It's a good one, right? And Amazon will refund my PSU on the basis of coil whine/unpleasant noise under a load, correct?
Thanks for all your help.
I'd go with at least 600w. http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Continuous-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1450911011&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=650+watt+psu

You mean its not normal to keep a PSU for almost 10 years? lol jk. I kinda forgot how long its been since I upgraded that. I don't really build new comps so much as continuously upgrade once.

I'm thinking of just saying "screw it" and getting that. what do you think? I've been spending way too much time looking at computer parts this week.
Then how does this sound? EVGA power supplies are some of the best on the market. Just might be good for you as well.
Thanks again for the help man. One last thing if you don't mind. Is this the type of product I should be looking for and is it compatible with my system?

Also, do I really NEED more than 650 watts for my system to run properly or is 650 fine? Thanks again :)

something like that would be a considerate upgrade and will SIGNIFICANTLY HELP with cable management.
What about this model? EVGA SuperNOVA 650G1?

It's on sale in Canada
Think this should be fine.
Looking further into it (and realising this is Canadian dollars) the GPU isn't all that bad. You could possible go for a black GPU instead to add contrast with the white motherboard.
An i7 may be a bit overboard for this build, you could go down to a i5-7600k and chop about 100CAD off the build price.
I don't think a white PSU exists, and you wouldn't be able to see much of it anyways- go for a modular PSU e.g. and you can buy your own white power cables!
Seemed like everyone around says not to do splitters, especially for the risers so I just tried to do 1 thing per cable.
I'm considering something like 2x of these for the next one. Each should be able to power 3 gpu's easily and it's only ~160 total - https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501354763&amp;sr=1-1&amp;refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_two_browse-bin%3A6906985011&amp;th=1

This one.
You can get a cheaper fully modular PSU here.
Any reason for the micro atx board? Also yeah, switch to a gold rated power supply such as this.
Would this be fine? https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-120-G1-0650-XR-Modular-Supply/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1488214866&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=modular+psu
Keep an eye out on this one. It often goes on for 74.99. 650W Gold Power Supply from EVGA. Fully Modular
https://www.amazon.ca/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1498825762&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=evga+supernova+650
It won't hurt anything if the wattage is higher, but it will provide literally no benefit to your computer. Power is drawn at the rate it's needed, not "pumped in" so if your computer only needs (example) 350W for what it's doing, that's all it'll draw.
I have an EVGA power supply in my computer. I like that they have a 10 year warranty. (not all) Others still have a 7 year, and you can always put it into the next computer if you need to.
Something like this?
Picked one with a 10 year for you, but i don't know if that fits what you want.
As long as you don't overclock, you should be okay. But if you do plan to overclock, your low thermal overhead may cause the fans to spin which could introduce extra noise. I would throw a little extra coin at a EVGA 650w 80+ Gold Fully Modular. On another note, I would personally recommend going with a WD Blue 2TB over the Seagate Barracuda.
I'd personally recommend a different PSU, as others have mentioned.
This or this would actually be the same or cheaper than the Corsair (assuming you're ordering from Amazon or Newegg), is Gold certified, fully modular, and has much better internal components than the Corsair does.
Your friend might run that PSU without issues, but a lot of people have run into issues with Corsair PSUs, and just because his works doesn't mean yours will. Just my two cents, take it with a grain of salt, I'd just want to make sure that my PSU is as good as it could be, especially if you're spending close to $1,500 on your build.
If you're spending $~80 on a PSU, something like this would be better, you don't need the extra 100W from your current one and the gold rating will save you some money in the long run over the bronze rated one. It's also fully modular so that should make cable management easier.
I have this one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X2AW/?tag=pcpapi-20)
I think that is a great build but, I prefer this power supply but, I don't know how the pricing compares in euros. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X2AW/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I30JAO6OKJD0RZ&amp;colid=KXLRGCFHNAVH
Thanks for the input. Any thoughts on this one from EVGA? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X2AW/?tag=pcpapi-20
And yes, this will be for a server/rendering box
do you think i can replace that PSU with this one? because its not available on amazon :<

You should get a good power supply, that most likely solve your issues, buy something good, at least a evga 600b. But if you can afford it buy a supernova

Never, ever get a budget PSU, unless you like fire and fried GPUs.
Here a great PSU, under $100 bucks:
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/
If you are willing to go to 99 bucks here's an even better one:

It has the SuperNova NEX650G... but it has the handle and red PCI connectors. The one I was looking at has neither of those. ???

I'd HAVE to fix that madness before giving it back to him. Also his HDD is the wrong way....it should be facing the other way if cable managing allows it to be.
His AIO isn't bad but should be placed on the exhaust area to push the hot air that RISES out of the back of the case, but that is my two cents.
Also advise your mate to spend a LITTLE bit more and get a fully (not those shitty semi) modular PSU next time. Fully modular PSUs are GREAT! The current PSU is neither, hence why there is a lot of cables everywhere.
Again this is all my 2 cents, but yeah I'd have to manage those cables before giving it back....just ew.
This would be better especially in the long run:

Fully modular will help a lot in a smaller case
I am about to pull the trigger, which PSU should I pick?

I have to say that's a really nice set up you got there. After building my computer in a similar price point if i would change anything I would get a slightly cheaper cooler. The only reason you would want a cooler like that is if you are doing some serious overclocking. I would spend the money you save to get a more efficient power supply like this Depending on your area this might actually be cheaper, in that case you should upgrade your SSD.
Change PSU, Corsair is not a good brand at all for power supplies, you can find a better one for cheaper, like the EVGA Supernova https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-120-G1-0650-XR/dp/B00K85X2AW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479655024&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=evga+supernova
I agree with orlander.
I use this PSU.
It's a bit more expensive than what you have, but it will serve you well.

Cheap EVGA PSU from 3rd party on Amazon. What do you think are my chances of actually receiving it?
Not too worried because Amazon has amazing refunds so if it's not intact won't be much of a hit
uhmmm?
