What I'm looking for is do I have enough power for the hackinotsh? I'm not a hard core gamer or video editor. I wanted to built for for school purposes and a fast computer.

Thanks
 
The PSU is overkill. 500W more than enough.
The Pioneer BD drive can cause issues so change it to a Samsung SH-B123L.
 
k. thanks for the advice.
 
oh. one more thing. it's in i7 i want to use. i research some stuff and seen others using more than 600W PSU. how come they use it higher?
