Hello,

Recently I have decided to upgrade my PC but, I do not want to completely build a new PC.
I would use it mainly for college and 1080p gaming.

Currently the parts I want to transfer from my current pc are:
600w Corsair-PSU
Hitachi Deskstar 7k1000-Harddrive
7850 Ghost xfx-Graphics card
CD Drive

What I am planning on buying:
i5 4670k-CPU
MSI Z87-G43 Intel Z87 Chipset- Motherboard
CoolMaster Hyper 212 Evo- Cpu cooler
Nzxt Phantom 410- Case

Any advice would be appreciated on whether or not this would all fit together nicely. As well as any problems and difficulties you see mixing all these parts together. I might also want to crossfire another 7850 in the future or go new card all together still havent decided.

Thank you for your time.

I would recommend single GPU, as dual GPU's typically require 700 watts+

My rig: i7-4770k, GTX 770 SLI, Samsung 840 Pro 128Gb, WD Caviar Black 2TB, 16Gb DDR3-2133MHz CAS 9, 12 fans (yea... I do extreme overclocks).

Total wattage: 720 Watts.

The motherboard you chose is a good match for your system :)

Thats my current PSU, and you recommend a single Gpu rather than Crossfiring correct?

Thank you very much for your input.
