As the subject says. I don't honestly know if I need a nice sized power supply or how to actually calculate it all up so I can get a decent one. If you all could help, i'd greatly appreciate it. It's just going to be used for gaming.

Very strange build for gaming, though it will work and I have no clue what your exact usage will be. Very out of context. multiple monitors, etc.

EDIT: Well, it's my first build...kinda, but I wanted to try it. And that 750w would totally do it? Sorry for being so vague D: Gawd I don't know crap about anything. Those are low end cards? o.o

Sorry to change your whole build, but bang for buck goes a long way.

I'd also change the case, but I understand that is more of a personal choice.

I like Radeon, what one would you suggest out of that?

Personally, I wouldn't... You'll get the best bang for your buck out of that card for your budget in my opinion.

Plus, you'll be able to Shadowplay with little to no effect on your FPS if you ever wanted to.

I learned the hard way that having a preference over companies and brands versus performance to price was a big mistake of about 20% efficiency in gaming. xD

If anyone wants to suggest a AMD, please do, cause I wouldn't know where to start in the AMD region for this kind of price range/performance ratio.

Ahh. Well I mean, I don't really have preference when it comes to brands. It's just I wanted to try out some type of amd build. Thanks!

Well, someone might still come in and build a AMD build for you!

I could try, but I don't know, it might be kinda Frankenstein!
