Build 3

I only play MMO's, and online games.
Don't ask me why I picked such an overkill PSU for my builds, it's so that my build will be ready for future upgrades. Feel free to recommend another PSU if you want, must be ready future upgrades too. Feel free to recommend me another build, but it must contain these parts:

And my limit is at 1600$

Thanks

Some people prefer to have even more head room on their power supplies, I am just giving him more options. While I agree that a 750w is enough, I would personally grab 850w for SLI 780 tis for a peace of mind safety net. If OP wants to go with 750w he will go with it, if he goes for an 850w then he now has some options.

@nikoli: He says in the OP that the build must have the Black Pearl case. I agree with you that he should get a cheaper case, but oh well.

Also, he may not need the OS (it wasn't in any of his builds). You can use that $100 to get a PSU that would be more conducive to upgrading.

@Shigeki: You can get this if you didn't mind not getting the Black Pearl.
