A little overkill there on the PSU. But other than that its pretty good IMO.

I figured that if I ever wanted to upgrade I should be ready. I want to be completely future proof!

Could have saved some money and got the 8320, since you got the 212 Evo. The 8350 is just the overclocked version of the 8320. The CX Series PSU's have cheap capacitors. So you might need to upgrade sooner or later. Also, Seagate's tend to fail some what. But overall. Nice build.

I noticed that PSU prices are way low right now.

Their not. Your PSU is a cheap version. That is why it was so cheap. Read my post above.

I was seeing price drops across the board, but I agree that I did buy a cheap PSU. I put most of my money toward the motherboard and graphics.

For me, most PSU's are still high. But it is what it is.
