Doesn't that thing only have like a 2 year warranty???
/e just looked up, 3yr parts, 2yr labor... Really low for a gold rating psu IMO.
/e @ op, fill out the sticky and we can give you more tailored builds.

The EVGA 550W G2 has a perfect score at JonnyGuru, so the warranty doesn't really matter.

I would advise you to stick with Intel for WoW. You want every bit of single core performance you can get.

He's right.

for power supplies how much above the estimates on pc parts picker should you shoot for?

Ideally 20% above max usage.
The reason is caps and other things degrade over time.
Caps can lose up to 2% performance in a year.

I'm playing Battle for Azeroth on a R5 1600 / 1080 Ti build at 1440p. My GPU is happy. My CPU is not.
