First and foremost, I think i should show you guys the build I have planned:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2eTnm

So I'm going to be making my first ever pc build and I need help choosing my PSU. My choices are quite limited here in Malaysia so these are the choices i have:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817815017

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005

So...

1. Among these three which one is the best choice?

2. Will it be able to handle the upgrade i have planned next year where i will be sli'ng my gpu and also upgrading the cpu and mobo to something I can overclock like the I5 4670K and pairing it with a cpu cooler like the hyper 212 plus?

All help is much appreciated :)

I will make a suggestion:

CORE I5 4430 1150 3.00 6MB - 559
ASROCK B85M PRO 4 1150 VSGL - 279
SAPPHIRE 7870 dual-x 2GB D5 - 679
2x 4GB PC1600 8 chips - 2x 99 = 198
1TB SATA 3 - 184
AEROCOOL V3X - 99
PSU Xigmatek Tauro 600 - 209

and some 19.5" monitor of your choice, up to 293

With this setup, you don't have to change processor/motherboard for a time. And 7870 is better than 650 ti boost, with a motherboard that supports crossfire too.

What do you think about?

First of all dont go with the upgrading mind, i mean save Money and buy a decent PC upgrading every year doesnt worth it.

Well to the PSU part, a 650w from Corsair should be more then enough if 2 way SLI i would go for a 700w-800w.

Why are u going with an m-ATX board??? Get a normal ATX, i didnt understand why you will get a m-ATX in a mid tower case.

Tell me you budget and i will put the best parts together for you

If you want gtx 650 ti boost in sli with overclocked i5, you can use even a Seasonic S or M12II 520, or Corsair TX 550 will be very good too.

It's best if you can get an i5 3330 right now, instead of i3.

But if you want to go for i5 4670k, you will need to change your motherboard too.

How long do you think the i5 can last before having to upgrade it?
