Could Use Some Help Finalizing Parts

dozer26 · Jun 18, 2013

Hi all, I'm building my first gaming PC and, although I have done the research, I just want to make sure everything will work fine, with proper assembly of course. Here are my parts as of now,

Processor: Intel i5-3570k - $219
Motherboard: Asus PZ877-V LK ATX LGA1155 - $135
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 670 PE 2 GB - $365
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast 650W 80 Plus Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V - $83
Memory: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance - $70
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM - $70

Case: Thermaltake Chaser A41

I'm open to any suggestions as well. I'd like to know what people's opinions are on the PSU and the Video Card. More specifically, is the PSU good enough for SLI? Also, is the PE edition really that good in comparison to, say, a EVGA 4 GB one?

Thank you all!

I would suggest getting a 770, as the price to performance is out of this world. Also, I would recommend at least a 750w PSU for SLI.
Here is a good one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207029

Hey thanks. I actually probably will get the 770. Also, how necessary is the 750 W? I will spend the money if 650 W won't do the job.

The Corsair psu is going to be close. The Corsair puts out 53A on the 12v rail that's 636W and 770 in sli needs 402W. If you OC the cpu or the sli gpus it's not enough, but how many people will go sli?

750w is the lowest I would go. At 650w in sli, the system may throttle under load. It will be a lot easier if you spend a little extra now than find out you didnt get enough when it matters.

Well if you can spend a little extra money, I would recommend something like a Corsair, XFX, or Cooler master, as they are more reputable. However, I have never heard anything bad about EVGA when it comes to Power supplies, so you should be just fine.
