I would like to know if the PSU I have chosen is appropriate for my build also general feedback about my build and what could make it better would be greatly appreciated.

CPU: Intel i-7 4770K
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Formula
Graphics: nVidia EVGA GeForce GTX 650 ti Boost 2GB Superclocked
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO series 120GB
Ram: 8GB(2x4GB) G.Skill Ares F3-1866C9D-8GAB
Optical Drive: LG CH12NS30 12X BD-R Blu-Ray DVD Combo Drive
PSU: Thermaltake 850W Toughpower Gold or Antec High Current Gamer 900W Power Supply HCG-900

In the future I will be adding a 2TB HDD and maybe another 650 ti in SLI. Would my PSU be able to handle this system and in your opinion is the 650 ti an appropriate choice of graphics card?

Edit: This computer will be used for gaming.

Either power supply should be fine.

Appropriate graphics card depends on ultimate goal. for example.. Crysis 3 on ultra settings? No that card will no work at all. Probably better off going with i5 4670k over the 4770k and with the $100 you save get gtx 760 over the 650ti. Would be a big improvement.

i think you should get an i5-4670k and get a higher GPU(GTX770) if this build was for gaming but anyway you should get a GTX750 Ti better and the two PSU are enough but i prefer toughpower

Thanks for the help, I will upgrade the GPU to either a GTX 750,760 or a 770. Is there much difference between the i7 4770K and the i5 4670K? This is my first build so I don't really know very much.

In gaming there is no difference.. Aside for the price

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely get the i5 4670K and upgarde the 650 ti to at least a GTX 760. All in all does this seem like a good build?
