It looks good, but i'd get a better PSU and better GPU.

 

[Twinpeaksr]

Recommendations?

GPU, I have no idea, this is not a gaming machine and there will be no overclocking.

PSU, Not sure what would not work with it, maybe a 400W to give more headroom, but based on my calculations I should be well under 360W.

Thanks!

Oh, just kidding then, that GPU would be fine.

What are you looking for in a PSU? Quietness by any chance?

Definitely a better PSU.

Waayyy more power than needed. The 430w seasonic would even be more than enough, but rock solid.

Fortron 500 has always been solid for me. A little noisy, but not bad. Definitely a good PSU.

I Hate doing shopping for PS!!! Went through a lot if this about a month ago. Based on that I chose the PS that I had listed. I calculated the Power consumption on this system should not be an issue. Thanks for the input though. I think PS and GPU will never find agreement from anyone!

Final system is now:
