Hello everyone! I am building my first gaming pc soon and I would like to know if it fairly decent. I hope to run most games maxed out and plan to go sli with the gtx 780, so would the power supply be enough?

Any advice and concerns are appreciated.

Thanks!

heres what i would get
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1dQTt

-the 4670k performs better
-slightly better CPU cooler
-with either one of the coolers, the stock paste is better quality
-faster ram is useless
-raid 0 ssds are useless. get a single larger SSD
-the caviar black is no better than the blue
-better 780. it is however overkill for 1080p gaming
-definitely dont need a sound card unless you have some high powered headphones
-game on ethernet rather than wifi. you pay a whooping fee for new wifi
-850w is better for 780 SLI
--better monitor, keyboard, and mouse

When I saw your build, there were a couple of things that left me wondering.
Does he even need that?

Do you really need a high-end, dedicated sound card?
I tell the difference between my phone and my cousin's Sound Blaster, so unless you're using it professionaly, you might as well go with intergrated Audio.

The second thing is the network adapter.
A simple cable would do a better job than a network adapter.
It also wouldn't set you back a hundred dolars.

You picked two of the same SSD's.
I assume you were thinking of setting up a RAID 0 or 1.
Anyway, going with a single, faster drive is almost always a better idea.


Also, buy a good monitor.
If you're gaming, and plan on maxing games out you might as well pick up a better monitor.
What's the point of running games at maximum settings if they don't look good on your monitor anyway?

You could also get a GTX 780 with a blower style cooler.
They make less noise and run cooler.
The only downside is that hot air is exhausted inside your case.


I edited your build.
Here's the result.
