Ok and what else do I need to get I just have a monitor. I know I need a mouse and keyboard is there anything else I need?

jonoj96 · Mar 19, 2014

You also need a OS such either windows 7 or windows 8

Imabeast990 · Mar 19, 2014

would i need the 650W version instead of the 550W?

AMD Radeon · Mar 19, 2014

^ not necessary, 650W is for GTX 780 Ti
but these are cheap now

you can grab one if you want

I do prefer SeaSonic Power Supplies, but XFX is OK too. But if you can, I do really recommend you to get a SeaSonic PSU (Gold, Silver or Bronze).

Imabeast990 · Mar 19, 2014

What's the difference between the sea sonic and XFX power supply's?

And will the computer run hot? Do I need to get some fans?
