Hi guys. Just bought some parts for my new rig but im not sure about my psu , ram and fans..



My rig currently consists of
I7-4770K
Asus Z87 Plus
GC Extreme Thermal paste
Asus GTX-780
Seasonic 1050W X series
NZXT Phantom 630(white)





1)Regarding my Hyper 212 evo from my old rig, can i reuse the evo from my old rig for the new rig?

2)What type of casing fans would be good to buy for my casing?

3)What type of ram should i buy?


3)im intending to sli my current gpu in the future. Is 1050w enough for 2 780s?

Thanks in advance

1. Yes - but you do not need to buy additional thermal compound, you're throwing money away there.

2. Just don't buy cheap ones.

3. For Haswell - DDR3 1600MHz 1.5V dual channel. (same as Ivy)

4. Way more than you'll ever need. An 850W will be plenty.

Yeah the rig I've got with 780 SLI uses about 800w OC'ed. You could be safe with a 900w psu I would say. Just saw the other guy's answer. an 850w should be fine as well.
