	There's no way you will ever need a 1000W PSU. The 850W is more than you'll need, so: great overhead. Upgrade to the Asus TUF for a little stronger board with better thermals. With your budget, are you sure you even want a mechanical hard drive? I'd get a 1TB Samsung 860 EVO instead. The larger ones are a little pricy, but it may be your time for all SSDs, maybe. Be sure you partition the big NVMe so your OS, browser, and maintenance utilities, etc. can be isolated from all your games and apps if Windows ever bites the dust. A fresh install means you have to re-install everything on the Win drive, so keep it compact. The smaller, the easier to clone to an external source so you can restore the whole thing if Windows gaks. It will also scan itself in seconds. The NVMe drive is a true wonder to behold everything else looks very good, and will perform as you expect.
