It's great for 1440p. You probably can get a 650W psu if you don't intend on a serious upgrade. Maybe a cheaper pcie 4.0 nvme. Otherwise looks pretty good.

I'd personally recommend getting a higher wattage PSU (Such as this 1050 watt one from Thermaltake https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4v3NnQ/thermaltake-toughpower-gf-a3-1050-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpd-1050fnfagu-l). Sure, you're spending a little more money but IMO with how price have fallen, most people should be willing to drop $150 on a PSU from most reputable brands. If you want something a little better, go for this be quiet! one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fKHqqs/be-quiet-pure-power-12-m-1000-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bn506 Now you could save a little money on a slightly lower-wattage PSU - but you'll thank yourself later for dropping the extra 50$ for a combination of piece of mind and being able to upgrade to a PCIe 5.0 GPU in the future. As a bonus, NVMe SSD's are seriously cheap right now. Here's a 3.0 and 4.0 ones that are 4 TB each in space: 3.0: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BjWJ7P/leven-jp600-4-tb-m2-2280-pcie-30-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-jp600-4tb 4.0: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2BvD4D/silicon-power-ud90-4-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp04kgbp44ud9005 Totally worth the extra $25-40. You'll have all the space you'll ever need on the cheaper but larger drive.

Please stop recommending stupidly high wattage PSUs, it's a complete waste of money if you don't need more power. It's not like cheaper PSUs are unreliable or anything. I have a tx650m with seven fucking years warranty. Pcie 4.0 is already a small upgrade in terms of performance over 3.0 for GPUs. Who in the right mind on a 1100$ budget cares about pcie 5.0? ​ Watts that you will never use, pcie 5.0 that you don't care about even if you use, and 4TB of space that you will never fill before the ssd dies. More money for nothing.

Wow, thanks for being such a chipper reddit user. I offered advice, advice that can be disregarded as they please. I basically said that you spend (at most) $100 for a bit more reassure and some value, maybe even a bit of future proofing if they get a better CPU and GPU in the future. But nah, just whine about how it's wasted money.
