You should cross reference some of those parts through Amazon.com, since they don't charge CA residents tax you'll be able to save some money.

You've already placed the order? Then there's really no reason for after-the-fact comments.

That said, your parts selection looks fine. Some would have recommended a different case, while others would have suggested that you use Amazon rather than NewEgg (as Amazon doesn't charge California residents any sales tax).

So in terms of the watts for all of these components, I should be good with a 620W psu right?
