Hello guys!

Im building a computer and I want to know 2 things...

1. Is necessary to buy a refigeration system or a cpu cooler if i have this case? If yes, what cooler or refrigeration would you recommend me (quality/price)? http://www.aerocool.com.tw/strike-x/chassis/848.html

2. What components depends for buying a power supply? I will use intel core i7-3770 (non k) not gonna overclock, wit geforce gtx 760, 8gb Ram and the motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme4. So 550 W / 600 W / 700 W ?

Thank you!!

right i am doing order as if 1 is best. at num 3 would be Arctic Cooling Fusión 550-EU 550W OEM - Fuente because it is not well enough known to me. 2 is Corsair CX500 V2 500W Builder Series becuz it is only 500w with 80plus and the best would be cooler master one becuz its 600w and 80+ certificate so it is best suited to your system.

right a good 550w psu like a xfx 550w psu would be fine aslong as you are not thinking of adding a second card or upgrading to a titan anytime soon :) and you would need a cpu heatsink with any case due to the fact the cpu needs to let its heat out and it spreads through the heatsink... but the stock one that comes with your cpu or if you dont get one a hyper evo 212 is your best bet for an air cooler heatsink pal

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 760 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. Some of the GeForce GTX 760 have a single 8-pin or two 8-pin or one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

You can use the stock Intel CPU cooler unless you're looking for lower CPU temperatures than the stock cooler can provide.

AeroCool PSUs aren't that good. The OEM used for that specific model is Andyson. Not a great or even good OEM.

Get one of these instead:

I've used the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO in a friend's build with an Intel Core i7-3770K. It definitely works better than the stock Intel CPU cooler.

The Arctic Fusion 550-EU is not a 550 Watt power supply. Using the PSU's peak wattage rating is done to deceive customers that don't know much about power supplies. That PSU was only able to sustain 550 Watts for one second. Its claimed continuous power rating is 500 Watts.
