Update
Here is the updated build. I added a case and switched to 1866 memory. I wanted to try out a mechanical keyboard, so that’s why I have the K70. Is there some reason I should not make such a purchase?
Also, what is the reasoning behind a 1000+PSU? My build is estimated at 350W. I was under the assumption that a 430-500W PSU would suffice.
Thank you!
