Hi!

Approximate Purchase Date: 1-2 weeks
Budget Range: ~850€
System Usage: gaming(bf4, civ 5, path of exile), software development (nothing too crazy), movies
Are you buying a monitor: no (have a dell u2412m)
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: will probably order from mindfactory.de but i am open to suggestions :)
Location: Germany
Overclocking: Yes (in the near future)
SLI or Crossfire: Yes (in a few months)
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200

Additional Comments: want to have a quiet and cool pc (had some overheating issues in the past)
I do already have a 256gb ssd and wont need a hdd for now(will get one later)
I want to overclock the cpu and add a 2. 760 in a few months, would the psu be able to do all that? should i get a 750w? Is the Motherboard enough? From what i can tell it does all i need and has enough space to upgrade to 2 way sli, maybe add a sound card, etc.
The cpu cooler i chose as it it supposed to be very quiet, even with overclocked cpu and still manages really good temperatures for a fan cooler.
But as I haven't owned a desktop in many years I am really hoping you guys can help me along the way! Thank you in advance!

your psu can handle 2x760..

a system equipped with:
Processor:Intel Core i7-3960X (note: this one is an 6 core intel cpu with 130watt tdp)
Motherboard:ASUS P9X79 Deluxe
Memory:16GB Corsair 1866MHz
graphic card: 2xMSI GeForce GTX 760 Gaming OC 2GB (note: this one is overclocked version:) )
ssd drive etc etc..

Just consume 520 watt while gaming..

so you still have more than 130w headroom for other parts..
