Something like this, any questions, feel free to ask. Swap 8 for 7 if wanted, it is cheaper by like $5 where you are.

If you really want to go safe and smooth after giving sufficient/full load on gpu. CX-series is for normal desktops who doesn't go through heavy amount of load on their system. Rest is all good and safe ;)
