First time builder (...or at least I am going to try)
I have the following components: i7-4770k, z87 sabertooth, kraken x60, and the nzxt phantom 820. I am about to purchase a 500GB Samsung SSD, 16gb of 1866 ram, and a GTX 780 (maybe the ti, not sure if worth the extra $200 yet).
*I am looking hard at PSU's now because that's one of the last pieces I need to start building and I feel it may be one of the more important components. I have had several pre-built cpu's over the last decade and the only component I have ever seen fail and need replacing is the PSU!
Right now I am wondering if I should get Seasonic PLATINUM-1000 ATX 1000 Power Supply ($239 on Amazon) or if Seasonic 850W 80 Plus Gold ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply ($174) would be enough. I am leaning towards seasonic over corsair because I have read a lot of reviews about the quality seasonic puts into their PSU's.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, and Happy Gobble Gobble.
