Hello Forum Users,
I am being put in charge of building one of four possible machines for a friends birthday. Although I won't be building for a few months (4 to be exact), I have preemptively picked out 4 sets of builds: 2 Intel-based builds (labeled (Dream-build and Super-build)) and 2 AMD-based builds (also labeled "Dream-build" and "Super-build")
Newegg's power supply calculator wasn't as helpful as I would have liked, and there are some questions I would like someone slightly more experienced (and by that I mean someone who knows exactly what every part I'm gonna list does and has more experience than just building simple machines and computer gaming). The purpose of these possible builds is for my friend to do a lot of music making/editing, game playing on high settings, game recording, video editing and multitasking.
The main 2 questions I need to know about each build are "Do I have the power supply required for each machine?" and "Are all these parts fully compatible with each other?" But feel free to add anything you feel I may have overlooked
Here are the specs of the Intel Dream-build (I'll put the other builds in replies below so I don't have a 4-page long start post)
Intel Dream-build:
Case: DIYPC Skyline Black/Green ATX Full Tower
Mobo: Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z5S LGA 1150 Intel Z87 ATX Form Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770k Haswell LGA 1150 Quad-Core
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake CLP0575 Ultimate Overclocking King Dual 130mm Fans
Video Card: (2) EVGA Superclocked GTX 760 2GB (running in SLI mode)
SSD: Kingston 240GB SSDNow Solid-State Drive
Hard Drive: (2) Seagate 4TB SATA-III hard drives (no RAID configuration)
CD/DVD Drive: LG 14X SATA interface Blu-Ray/CD/DVD Burner
RAM: G Skill 16 GB (4x4 GB) DDR3 1600
Power Supply: Antec HCP-850 Platinum 850W Intel Haswell Ready Power Supply
(I've already taken into account of cables for the drives, SLI Bridge, and mounting apparatus for the SSD)
