RAM: KINGSTON KVR16LN11/4 4GB DDR3 1600MHZ VALUE RAM
GPU: ASUS R9 270X R9270X-DC2T-2GD5 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E RETAIL
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL WD10EZEX 1TB CAVIAR BLUE SATA3
DvD/CD Writer: LG GH24NSB0 SUPER MULTI DVD-REWRITER SATA BLACK
PSU: MS-TECH MS-N750-VAL 750W ATX PSU

It will be fine. No bottleneck.

Put in to PartPicker to check.

Check ram/mobo compatibility by seeing if the other is approved on their websites.

See if you gpu is too long to fit in your case from their websites.

Don't get some no name power supply brand. Get a good on from Tier One of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html#13224310
You only need 500W for a R9 270x pc.

I use a 750w PSU cause I will crossfire two r9 270xs plus I will upgrade my CPU I also chose ms-tech because I get 3 years warranty from any part I choose from the website, even if the product has 1 year warranty I still get 3 years so there's nothing to lose

Yeah I didn't notice you had some random psu in there. Must have been the all caps. Definitely get a name brand 80+ Bronze psu. 500-550w is plenty.

No. You still don't want to use a cheapo psu. You can ruin all of your other components too as well as shorten their life span. The psu is the ONE thing that you cannot cheap out on. It is the heart of your system.

You're right. Should I go with the Corsair VS 550 an forget the crossfire till I get a new PSU a lot later?

CTurbo · May 14, 2014

What are your other options? Corsair is a lot better than what you had originally, but where are you buying from? Surely there is a Seasonic, XFX, Antec, Rosewill, or EVGA to choose from?
