yet another build check request

[Jnrss]

Hi. I'm completely new to building a pc / hack. Could someone please give this list a once over. All of the parts are from the buying guide (except for a wd hd instead of the seagate). Hackintosh will be used for basic web browsing and simple video editing (quicktime / iMovie). Any suggestions as to cost effective improvements or savings by changing parts would be appreciated. In particular, the motherboard choice was a shot in the dark, and should I switch to the 550W Bronze power supply?

Thanks!

Rich

The WD Blue drive will be just fine, The RM650X is a good PSU, well reviewed range and is great value at its price. If you wanted to save a little, then the RM550X should be fine for your build. The choice of PSU is yours - there are cheaper models but the spec on the RM***x models is top notch with an excellent warranty.
