Hello there i want to first and foremost thank you taking your time out to help me

i am building a computer rig, it will be for gaming and also for general use.

Processor : amd fx 8350 8 core
Graphic card : Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7950 (3072 MB) (11196-01-40G)
Mobo: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
CASE ( i havent bought it yet, it will be last thing i buy Sharkoon T9 ATX Midi Tower Case
Ram : G.SKILL 8GB RAM, DDR3-1600, PC-12800, CL9-9-9-24 1.5v, 2x 4GB

My problem is im not sure as to which PSU or psu brand to get. I was told intiallky to get Alpine but another friend told me thats a terrible PSU. So i would like some help as to which PSU to get 650w minimum

Also should i bother getting an SSD, there are some decent offers on amazon

what size HDD should i get/brand/speed

Your input on what monitor i should get ?

thanks in advance

I've had great luck with all of my Corsair PSU's. I currently have 3; CX-600M, CX-750M and the HX-1050. My CX-750 powers my i7-4770k, SSD, 8 HDD's, blue ray drive, water cooler, 5 fans and a ASUS R9 280X

Corsair is a good brand but for $15USD less your getting only a 3 yr warranty, 80+ Bronze and Semi-Modular and 100W loss.
