Hey,

I've decided what parts to get for my new pc. Here's the link:

A few questions:

I am going to SLI the 770 in the future, will the 850watt psu be enough?

Do I need a fully modular psu? Is semi good enough?

I also think i need a better monitor. Max size is 24 inch.

I MUST have a 75hz+ and 1080p monitor. I dont want the price to go over $130. Hopefully under $120. If you guys are going to advize a monitor, plz state the hz first.

What do you guys think about my build? I'm going to keep the i7 and hopefully the 16gb RAM. My MAX budget is $1650. But plz keep it under $1625 cuz im buying a headset for $26.

Thnx

Well since you think you need the i7 I only changed the case and psu to something better. If this rig is for gaming only then you should drop the cpu to a 4670k and put the money elsewhere, or towards the next 770. the PSU i have will handle SLI fine.

Considering a monitor with your requirements starts at $135 and quickly goes up from there I'd say you either need to open your wallet or lower your standards. Or take money off the cpu and put it towards a screen.

I need an i7 because I will be doing a lot of video editing and photo editing as well as streaming, maybe all at the same time. I looked it up and it says the monitor i had im my build was 76hz, is it true? I dont need IPS or anything, just want an average monitor which plays games at 1080p at 75hz or more.
