I am building myself a gaming rig and i need it to last me 3 years (running games on high-best graphics). I am not sure what power supply i should get. What do i need? Here is the specs i am planning on getting:
CPU: Ivy bridge i7 3770K
GPU: Sapphire HD7970 3GB Vapor-X Graphics Card X 2
RAM: G-Skill 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz RipjawsZ X79 Memory Kit CL9 1.5V
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Socket 1155 VGA DVI HDMI 7.1 Channel audio ATX Motherboard
HDD/SSD: WD 1TB Green Desktop Drive (and a 128 GB SSD, not sure what yet)
Optical drive: Not sure yet, not too fussed. 24X Write speed.
Case: Not decided but I am looking at the Thermaltake Chaser A71 if it is at a reasonable price. But the case should not matter too much, i want a full sized case.
Sound card: Again, not sure. This won't affect the Power supply too much i imagine but keep it in mind.
Cooling: No idea, but my friend is helping me put this all together but i need to find the parts i want.
So what PSU should i get? I want one that can handle what i have now and future-proof me a little bit (might want to add some ram down the line or upgrade some stuff.. i want some room to improve what i have basically. NOT UPGRADING GPU THOUGH).
My budget is £150 absolute max. I would prefer something at around £100.
Thanks in advance!
