This is what is going to be in my gaming PC
- ASUS Z87 PRO
- I7-4770K
- Cooler Master Hyper212 EVO
- Corsair vengeance 16GB
- Samsung 480 EVO 250GB SSD
- Seagate dekstop HDD 3TB
- LG blu-ray player / burner
- AMD RADEON ASUS 7950 3GB
I was thinking about a 850 Watt power suply so I have room for a second GPU. I want it to be a gaming PC that I don't need to upgrade verry soon. So if I buy a powerfull PSU I can still fit a seccond GPU.

850 watt would be good choice to secure future upgrade like sli, adding more hd, good speakers etc..it will be more than enough. try get a good brand like corsair, silvertek, xfx etc
even 750 good brand psu will do it fine.

nah. 850 is plenty. i7 for gaming is 101% overkill. rather get the i5 4670k. it is much cheaper at equal performance. also, 16 gb of ram isnt really necesary. 8 gb is perfectly acceptable. with the money you have just saved, get a 7970 or, even better. a gtx 770.(i would get the 770. it is much better imo.) \
