My 800 dollar PC build. (Help)

Solution
invest on a better PSU. it doesnt have enough connectors to handle R9-270X, it need 1x6 and 1x8 pin while yours only has 1x6 pin. get something like CX 550W or Seasonic S12II 520W. also if you plan to overclock, change to mobo too.

other than that its a fine build.

So, a 14 pin connector?

Also, how does this deal look compared to what I already have? And what changes do I have to make in order to fit these parts?

no no not a 14 pin connector, 1x 6 pin connector and 1x8 pin(in most cases a 6+2 pin) they are two separate connectors.

6 pin should look like this

and 6+2 pin (or 8 pin) should look like this

6+2 pin is essentiall a 6 pin with 2 extra connectors. in most 520W PSU's the extra 2 pin is seperateable(like in the pic) so you can use it as a 6 pin when you need it and also a 8 pin when you need it.

Alrighty, thank you! I'm just going to get the SeaSonic PSU you recommended. Thanks. One more question, if you don't mind; if possible, could I downgrade my video card to save some extra cash?
