Hello All,

I am building my first system and I believe I have everything chosen except for the appropriate PSU for my build. I will be focused on gaming, video/photo editing and web devel. Here is the build:
**(Keep in mind that I have yet to shop around for the best prices. I am using Newegg as a base line)

Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Full Tower ($159.99 @ Newegg)

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics ($309.99 @ Newegg)

CPU Cooling Fan: CORSAIR Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 280mm ($114.99 @ Newegg)

Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard ($299.99 @ Newegg)

Memory: Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866mHz ($179.99 @ Newegg)

Video Card: EVGA 03G-P4-2881-KR GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card ($699.99 @ Newegg)

Hard Drive: (2x) Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM ($69.99 @Newegg)

SSD: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) ($179.99 @ Newegg)

Power Supply: ?

I would prefer a fully modular PSU and something that is 'future resistant'. I plan on adding another GeForce GTX 780 ti later on.

Thank you for your time.

Seasonic Platinum-1000 $239
EVGA Supernova 1000 $209 ( $15 rebate also available )

Jonnyguru.com gives both of them 9.7 so you can't really go wrong with either one. Considering the items in your machine either one should be a good match.

Although i would recommend getting the i7-4770K as it will let you overclock which undoubtedly you can easily do with that system. While a little more expensive it is the better buy.

Ok, very cool. I'm not sure if I will overclock...
