Hi everyone--
I'm new to the forum and although I've built many PCs in the past this will be my first CustoMac. I've assembled a parts list and have made several adjustments based on the guides and forum threads, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought and if you see any red flags as far as compatibility is concerned. I've checked every piece with the build guides and the only piece that isn't on the list is the PSU but I don't see why that'd be an issue. I'm a graphic designer and plan on using this for work, but will eventually drop in another SSD and HDD to run windows for gaming. I'll be outputting to a 55" 4K HD Sony Bravia tv. I greatly appreciate your help and I thank you in advance. See parts list with links below.

Thanks again so much for any feedback you can give. I'm really nervous with this being my first build and I'm definitely not made of money so I want to make sure I do this right.
Thanks!
