should get ram to match the Kingston since the ram will run at the speed of the slowest ram. Or just pull the Samsung ram.

Why are you asking our advice AFTER the build?
Honestly, I don't like it. However, I don't count, if YOU like it that's all that matters. |

The motherboard is fine.
I will never buy XFX video cards or Coolermaster power supplies. I wouldn't use a WD Green for a primary hard drive, just a data storage drive. |

Coolermaster power supplies aren't that bad, nowhere near as bad as some generic and cheap power supplies. The major problem with them is that you can't expect to output whatever wattage you got them for, more like 100W or so less assuming your computer is running pretty cool (coolermaster power supplies ironically enough don't have the best cooling). I've used a half dozen 500W units that came with the CM Sileo case, didn't have any problems with them as all the systems I built with it had power requirements around 350W.
Usually a PSU is one of the longest lasting components in your computer as it doesn't go obsolete very fast, so usually it's a good idea to spend extra money on it; that and if you have a poor quality PSU, if it dies you could have it take out other components. Generally most PSUs that have PFC and 80+ certification or higher are pretty good. If you have a chance to physically look at PSUs, generally the heavier it is, the better quality.

Very good choice for a PSU.
Hopefully, the XFX card won't crap out on you, because their support and customer service is awful. The hard drive is going to slow you down a bit, the Greens are really for storage rather than the OS and apps. |

lol love how greens are for storage I should've bought the 3TB green instead of the 2TB black to go with my 250gig SSD oh well.
Also love the PSU you selected same one I have do believe. Know nothing about AMD though |
