Hi Snaike,

A good build. When did DS finally added a Black Apollo? I missed that.

If it was me I would get the 850w power supply. Just incase you want to go with a second GPU and a little more future proof. I don't know what this build cost but I would get the SSD M.2 (256GB Samsung 950 PRO) (NVM Express). The 950 is another $100 over the 850 Pro.
