Hello everyone,
I have decided to build my first desktop. Due to space restrictions I decided to go for a Bitfenix Prodigy case. I have done a fair bit of research on all the components that will go into my build, but would really appreciate a second opinion, particularly on the PSU.
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k Haswell 3.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S (from the videos I've seen, it seems to fit nicely in the Prodigy)
Video Card: EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked ACX Cooler 3Gb
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe 1155, Intel Z77, DDR3, S-ATA 600, Mini ITX
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8 Gb (2 x 4Gb) DDR3 1600 MHz
HDD: Western Digital Blue Caviar 1TB 7200 RPM 3.5"
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo SSD 250Gb
Case: BitFenix Prodigy (Black) Mini ITX Tower Case
Case Front Fan: Bitfenix Spectre Pro 230mm
Case Rear Fan: Noctua NF-P14 FLX 140mm
PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650M 650W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE
Optical Drive: None
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 Home Premium (64-bit)
From what I've researched, all the components run pretty quietly, and there should be sufficient airflow through the system. The main question, is the PSU really... Will 650W be sufficient, considering I will overclock and cannot SLI? How about all the other components - do they seem OK? Have I missed anything?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
