Hi! I have a list of PC parts i'm gonna get for my birthday in a month and i'm not really sure if a 650W power supply is enough for the GTX 780, i don't really want to mess up and buy another PSU :(

Anyways you can also check out my whole PC part list and see if everythings compatible with each other :p

PSU - XFX ProSeries XXX Edition 650W PSU
GPU - EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA ("SC", EVGA ACX Cooler, with WATCH_DOGS)

I hope someone can help me out because i'm really excited to build my first PC and i don't want to pick the wrong parts :)
Thanks for reading ^.^

Yes that PSU is plenty for your build. You could also opt for the Intel Xeon E3 1230 v3 CPU, if your not going to OC the 4770k on your list. The Xeon doesn't include the integrated GPU, but will perform similarly to the 4770k and will save you some $.

Hey, yes I believe it is enough. Have you heard of pcpartpicker.com? Search for all your parts in there then it tells you if there are any compatibility issues and it shows your estimated wattage. If you want to future proof it, get more wattage so you can sli in the future.

A few suggestions.. if you want this pc for gaming you do not need the i7. i5 4670k will perform just as well for gaming and costs around 100us less. That SSD will fill up very fast if you want to install your games on it. Maybe go for the 250gb samsung evo?

This is just preference but I would buy an internal wireless NIC instead of the usb one unless you need the usb one for some reason.

The blender will be a fine addition to your build : D

Another thing.. make sure all your parts will fit into that case. Its only a mid-tower so it may be a little tight on space.

Yea the blender was just something extra because we didn't have one :D
But thanks for all the answers, i will eventually OC my i7-4770k.. when i learn how to.. thats why i decided to buy another CPU cooler rather than the stock cooler :)

If the i7 4790k is available, I'd opt for it, since it should be priced close the the 4770k and will OC a bit more and generally runs a little cooler than the 4770k.
