    Yes everything will work together just fine.

    I would personally get a better PSU. Everything else is high end, dont skimp out on a PSU all in the name of saving $20-30 bucks, especially when your spending $ 650 on a gpu alone.

    Not a bad psu, but compared to the rest of the system you went cheap. Do yourself a solid and get a gold or platinum rated psu to go in that system.

    Just my opinion =)

    I wouldn't put too much stock in the PLUS certification. All that means is that it meets a certain efficiency criteria under baked laboratory conditions. It doesn't reflect real life much, and it certainly doesn't reflect anything to do with build quality.

    That being said, jdnewell isn't exactly wrong either. I think he's on the right track, just with the wrong horse.

    The CX is Corsair's pretty much basic level power supply. It's a nice power supply, and has a good reputation for providing decent power quality, but your paying a lot for the brand name at that level and your up around the power level (anything actually requiring over 550W) where you may want to consider going up a notch or two higher for tighter regulation, like the TX or HX line, or maybe even their top-tier AX lines -- assuming you stay with Corsair. Most of those are Seasonic power supplies in the first place, just with a different coat of paint.

    I was not necessarily saying just pick a random PSU based on PLUS certification. I figured he would be smart enough to pick a decent brand with a decent rating more or less.

    Point being if he is dropping that much cash on expensive parts then dont skimp on a PSU.  If I had to recommend one to him I would say go with Seasonic just based on my experiences with them.

    Make sure everything is msi-x certified .check on Intel site they probably suggest a few.and make sure does 100% sRGB (yes its important)with these two covered ?should meet no problem

    None of this is relevant, ignore it.

    I'd go with a Radeon competitor for the GPU from Sapphire because I can personally vouch that those things are made like russian tanks (the good ones, not the WW2 ones which popped welds when hit).

    To understand just how irrelevant feel free to check drbaltazar's post history in the Hardware section.  At the very least you should be a good laugh out of it.

    Pcie3 msi-x are best buddy!you do what you want but if you want speed you don't need all my past post.most of them are on an sRGB issue which can be fixed with a professional grade screen. Of about 500$.but msi-x support can only work with msi-x pcie3 hardware.since it is easy to get proper one.get the proper motherboard.will save assle of getting a new one because import and part was limited to older techno.
