Looks good...upgrade the PSU to the EVGA Supernova is can stretch it.

Regarding Windows 10:http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/08/gamers-its-safe-to-upgrade-to-windows-10/

Tax is not included, but only applicable if your in California or a foreign country.

Hi ChromeMax,

The 750 Super Nova PS is only $30 more and you get a 10 year warranty. A smart move if the budget allows.
