Admirable
It looks good, though if you are planning on going to SLI in the future, get a 850W PSU made by seasonic, XFX or EVGA. You would also be just as well off going and getting some 1600MHz RAM with a CL number of 7 or 8 as this will perform just as well for you in this setup

It would be enough, but it's better to have some headroom, you would be coming to the power supply's limit, which is not great. You can get the supernova g2 850w if you can find it where you are, excellent power supply. You don't need a network card, the one that comes with the motherboard should be just fine. Same thing as for your sound card, you should be fine with the on-board sound card, only upgrade if you're not satisfied when you've tried it. Otherwise, nice build, and beautiful case. (What color are you getting? I'm personally getting the Black/Red one) :)



Didn't see that you posted before me, great recommendation. ^^

Ok, thx for the fast replies :)

The network card and sound card is those who are already on the motherboard so im not paying extra for that :)

Im getting the Black/blue one :)

Nice choice :) And as for the network and sound cards, that makes sense.
