Better motherboard: http://www.komplett.dk/k/ki.aspx?sku=781700

Sorry, the price increased but you have to. You can't overclock on a B85 chipest motherboard. You need a Z87 chipset, which is more expensive. If you feel like you can ditch overclocking, we can certainly lower the price.

Can i do with a 550w PSU? If i would chose to run SLI wouldnt I need some more juice? And that case has bad air flow, friend has it, constanty dieing to overheating! About OC'ing, That seems like a good motherboard, iøll keep that one in mind!

realchaos · Jul 10, 2013

First off, the Corsair 300R is a great case. If your friend has it and his processor keeps overheating, it's either his lack of cable management which blocks the airflow or something is wrong with his cpu cooler.

A quality 550w psu can run this fine but it can't SLI.. The Corsair CX psus are meh quality. The CX series are probably the worse psus Corsair has right now. I wouldn't even trust SLI on that thing.

Kris6673 · Jul 10, 2013

Okay thanks for the help, could i trust a 650 W XFX to run SLI?
Well, my friend is pretty bad a cable management..

realchaos · Jul 10, 2013

I would grab the XFX 750w if you want to SLI. It's a bit more expensive over the CX 750w version.

Kris6673 · Jul 10, 2013

Okay 12 bucks is not that big of a deal..!
Anything else looking bad in my build?

In this thread? And i'll depending on sales n' stuff be done in like a month!
Ninja edit: I would make a quick guess and say that i have used like 10 hours reseaching parts for this PC so it has to be good! Then I just need to assemble it!..
