Okay so I have a Desktop that i'm looking to upgrade everything in pretty much for gaming/streaming. I would like to know if this build will work, I posted two graphics cards I would like to get the 4GB one but I am not sure if anything will bottleneck with either of the graphics cards. I will only be using one of them but I am unsure if either of them will work or if the following will work together. All of this will be in a mid size tower running on windows 8. Thank you!!! :D

Please leave feedback on anything that may be wrong with the build issues I might have

I would like to know if all of the following will work together with out bottle necking.

The PSU is garbage and by using it you risk damaging some if not all the other components when it inevitably fails. The PSU is not the area to skimp on when building a system. 4Gb on a 760 is kinda useless anything that needs that much vram is going to need a faster GPU. You can get a 2Gb GTX 770 or a 3Gb R9 280x for around the same price and both will outperform a 760. For gaming you don't really need 16gb of ram but if you really want it get 2x8Gb sticks instead of 4x4Gb. Or you could get 8Gb(2x4Gb) and spend the rest on a SSD for the OS, that would give the system a more noticeable speed boost when booting and loading programs.

For a 280x I'd go with this sapphire card.

That PSU is a good unit and would power 2 280x's in crossfire. If you are not planning on xfire you could save some money and get a smaller psu.
