So what u think about this build:

Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 Snow edition

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1000GB 3,5" SATA 6GB/S

Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3

CPU: AMD FX 8350 (4,0GHZ)

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i

GPU: 2X Gigabyte GTX 760 Windforce 3x OC

Memory: Corsair 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9 Vangeance

PSU: Corsair CX750 V3


Whats ur opinion and will be 750w enough. And will be there any bottlenecking with cpu/gpu.

THanks!

Well, is there a reason why you are using an fx8350 over an Intel I5? For gaming, the I5 pretty much trounces the fx8350.

I'm not a big fan of using SLI/Crossfire right out of the gate, unless you are spending an almost exorbitant amount of money on the graphics. I think you'd be better off using one 770 over two 760's right now.

Also, for a build like this, avoid the CX series of Psu's from Corsair. TX, VX, AX would all be much better choices. As would any Seasonic, Xfx, Antec, Ocz, PC Power and Cooling branded Psu. For dual-760's, 750w should be ok, but for anything higher with the possibility of SLI, I'd get an 850w.

If you are already spending 100 dollars on the h100i cooler, spend the extra 30 and get the Swiftech h220 instead. Better performance, and it has the option of being used as a custom loop in the future. You can still find it at NCIX.

In my opinion IF you have such good cooling you're planning to overclock (?) in that case I would suggest getting a Asus Sabertooth 990FX r2.0.

A 750W PSU will be sufficient.
You'll want a different motherboard though. That one runs its PCIe slots in x16,x4; plus I don't think it supports SLI. Change to the Extreme4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... which runs the slots at x8,x8 and does support SLI.

Yeah, that's right about the PSU too, unless you get the modular version. All of the "CX" units were made for Corsair by CWT, but the non-modular ones use inferior Samxon capacitors that do not like heat and are known for early failure. The modular ones use all-Japanese capacitors.

discard this motherboard (ASRock 970 Extreme3) take extreme 4 instead or an other brand

go with a only one gpu like gtx 780 you will pay the same price of two gtx 760 ... and in the futur you will be able to add an other gtx 780 in SLI .

better? :) 

i have only 1100€... and i saw on this site that 760GTX in SLI are more powerfull in perfomance on 1 monitor than gtx780(which is 100€ expensive than 2x760gtx)

Thanks for answers!

A GTX760 is no slouch though. You might start with one and see if you even need the second one.

I think the ZS is going to be similar to the Corsair; they're made by Sirtec, which has also been known to use some substandard parts. The modular Corsair would be a good choice. If XFX is available to you, those are all made by Seasonic.

Oh yes. XFX PSUs are made by Seasonic.

You only need 750W. The difference between bronze and gold is only a few %, not likely to matter except over a very long period, and even then not all that much. Having modular connectors is nice though, for cable management and improved airflow.

I'm hoping you can shop from these retailers, since you are spending Euros(right?).

I've left out the motherboard/cpu though. I'm going to recommend Intel, but I'll list an Amd build too.

Again, I'd get the nVidia 770 over two 760's. It'll cost less money, and the performance drop isn't too bad. Also, some games don't benefit that much from SLI, so you'll always get consistent performance from the one 770. The Ram was a good price, so really not a reason to not make the jump to 2133mhz. Listed the case you like and stuck with the Corsair h100i cooler because the one I would recommend won't fit. This PSU has enough power to SLI two 770's and overclock your system no matter which setup you go with.

Again, for gaming Intel will give you better performance than Amd. If you also want a Pc that can handle multi-threaded applications, then the fx8350 is a good choice. Or, if the budget allows for it, drop in an Intel 4770k instead and get the best of both worlds.
