I would have sprung for the EVGA 500B power supply personally. It's pretty much the same price and build quality, but has 70 more Watts. You also could have dropped the case fans (the two included with the SPEC-01 are plenty) and gotten a GTX 960 (even a 4GB one if you had used a less expensive chipset motherboard).
