Put it all in a parts picker, as fun as it is, no one wants to go through 15 links

The answer is yes and no.

All of the parts are fine, BUT, if you buy the ram you have listed, it will interfere with the cpu cooler. Change the ram to a standard profile without spreaders and it will be fine. Also you only need 8gb, even for cpu intensive games - use the extra $ below. IMO 1600mhz memory will be fine.

Spend another $20-30 and get the GTX660 instead of the 650ti. The gpu core is the same, but is fully unlocked and all the shaders, etc. are available on the 660.

Try it with the spreaders - maybe you'll get lucky, the gskills are not as tall as some. If not, you can try to remove the spreaders (last resort - voids the warranty and it's possible to rip a die off the stick).

I have already bought it and I just want to know if my GPU what setting my GPU will perform best at? Also is this build good for some PC gaming and video rendering on a budget ( my video editing program uses CPU not GPU)?

It works. That power supply is overkill for a single-card though. For that card, 500W will do.

my CPU will be running at 100% for extended amounts of time and it is a power hog while idling and I also plan to drop a second card in.


As long as you know none of that justifies 100-150 watts over whats needed

It is not more than whats needed, I do a lot of video rendering, gaming and other CPU intensive tasks. I also am planning to add some more cards, will this PSU do ok?

Yes. That power supply will be more than enough for gaming and/or rendering.
