Hey guys/gals,
I would like to start off by thanking all of you on this forum. Your comments and threads have helped me come to this build. This is my first ever build and will be used for gaming, watching movies, and jamming out to music. It is as follows:
I7 4770k -$249.99
ASUS maximus hero -$198.99
128gb kingston ssd (boot drive)- $67.99
1tb 7200rpm WD Black - $78.99
Thermaltake armor reve mid tower (white, 1x120mm, 1x200mm, 1x200mm led) - $39.99
MSI N760 TF gtx760 oc 2gb 256bit (each gpu requires 1x- 6pin and 1x- 8pin aka 4x- 6x2)- $498.99
Team Zeus RED 8gb (2x4gb 2400) - $66.99
I am needing help with finding a PSU. I did a watt calculator and it shows that i should need 567W BUT I'm planning on doing some overclocking, and adding a cpu cooler (Noctua NH-D14). My sli gpu says i should need dual 12v 30's or a single 12v 60 (if you have better knowledge as to req. Please correct me). The issue is finding that with the 4-6x2pins and since this is my first build ever; I don't want to screw up. My nightmare is to get a crappy psu and not be able to run my equipment or fry all my components.
I am needing to figure out what disc reader i should get also. Im leaning towards a blu ray rw.
I also need to find a monitor that will work for me. Thank you very much! Feel free to make suggestions on any of the equipment I'm lacking.
I understand that my mobo has a built in sound card. Is it worth a darn?
