Yeah, all looks good, but why do you need two power supplys?

At a glance I cant see any conflicts, just go over it again yourself and you should be good to go.

Oh ok fair enough lol. It doesnt seem to good from the reviews I must agree. The PSU you have chosen is very good on the other hand.

Yeah i wouldnt use the one you get with the case as usualy there no good.

If you read the Cons of that case on newegg you see that someone mentions....

5 min after hooking the computer up the power supply dies!

The build looks good however.
