Comes out to just under 1500$

I'm getting the Air water cooler as I like how small it is around the cpu instead of a massive fan sitting there blocking all my components.

Plan on playing on intel hd graphics tell I get a gpu.


I also plan on buying a gtx 780 ti in another 4/5 months along with a 1440p screen. Probably the new asus rog when it comes out. Then later down the line I want to buy a second gtx 780 ti for sli. I also plan on trying to OC my cpu to 4.5ghz and a slight OC on the gtx 780 ti. Will my psu be enough for my build our should I wait another month to get alittle more cash for a 1KW psu? Thanks in advance.

It would probably just barely work for two. I would recommend a power supply in the 1000 watt range.

If you are planning on just one GTX 780ti, then a 750 watt power supply is all you need. It requires a 600 watt power supply, with a 42 amps on a single rail.

The Cooler Master Ax series are ok, but avoid the CX and RM series. I generally recommend Seasonic and XFX (made by Seasonic) power supplies.

Thanks Yea i was kinda worried that the corsair wouldn't work I just really wanted it as it matches my build. Every thing is red and black but yes I'll probably go with that 1kw gold from seasonic
