750w PSU Enough for my build?

CenturyTechnology · Jun 19, 2014

I building a new gaming pc (Not High End) but I just wanted to know if a 750w PSU is enough for the follwing specs:

Intel i5 4590S
EVGA GTX 760 4GB/ ACX Cooler
Asus Z87-A MOBO
G.Skill RipJaws Series (2x4GB) DDR3
AsusVS247HV 23.6inch LED Monitor
Cooler Master K380 Full Mid-Night ATX
Seagate Barracuda 1TB

If not, what should I go for?

You'd be fine with 500W, if you're only using one GPU.

A few comments:
Why the low power CPU? If you want to OC get a K-sku one; if you don't then get a normal one and drop the Z board.

To add to the above comment, drop the 4GB 760 and get a 280x which has 3GB of VRAM for the same price, but much superior performance.

but yes, 750 is plenty.

BleedingEdgeTek :

Thanks Alot for the tip... I'm Completely new to building pcs, this is my first build. One thing, I've seen comments all over the internet saying that AMD cards don't support as much games as the Nvidia cards... Is this true? Just thinking twice...

Someone Somewhere · Jun 19, 2014

Nope.

Nvidia has a feature called PhysX, which some people say make games look better. However, only a few games support it, and it's not really essential.

BleedingEdgeTek · Jun 19, 2014

And in a lot of the games that do support it, it's poorly implemented and causes frame drops a lot. I have GTX 760 and never turn PhysX on lol

Someone Somewhere :

Thanks, Looks like I'll be going with a 750w Psu, I had a 1000w in my list.
I'm completely new to building

Also, do you recommend any Motherboards priced below the Z87-A but will perform well with the other specs?

Someone Somewhere :

Alright. I'm gonna start looking around that card.. thanks

Someone Somewhere · Jun 19, 2014

Even a 750W is overkill if you don't want to SLI/CF.

Pretty much any H97 should be fine if you're not going to overclock or SLI/CF. I'd still swap that CPU out for a 4590.

Someone Somewhere :

Your right, 4590 seems to be the best choice. Going for it.
