Im about to order psu for i7 + 780ti. What would be the best choice for me? I dont want to spend more than £100.
Is 120gb 840 evo ssd and cm 212 cooler a good choice?

An i7 is more than £100 :)  ....

i7 = 4790k - £248.60 Inc VAT

780 Ti = MSI 780 Ti hands down - £506.14 Inc VAT

120 GB Evo is a good choice - £59.81 inc VAT

Budget Hyper 212 doesn't make sense with those parts ....tho I am going to go over ya budget, I really wouldn't match an i7 with a budget level cooler.... the Phanteks or a Noctua will get ya another 7-10C or cooling

Phanteks PH-TC14-PE Red - £64.97 Inc VAT

Yes, it is..... a 650 watter would do just fine but given the small price difference for a 650 watter of comparable quality, I can't see you not getting a 850 watter so you won't have to get a new PSU when you get a 2nd GFX card.

Same cooler different color....it's my favorite combination of performance, aesthetics, noise and price.

The new Cryorig R1 and Noctua DH-15 will edge it by a tiny bit but cost more are are just a bit fugly.

And yes, 850 watts is plenty for 780 Tis on a system with overclocked CPU and two GPUs.

Quote:
Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 780 Ti - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1200 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.


Note that their test rig includes an overclocked 3960x which draws about 100 watts more power than a haswell CPU overclocked.

I just ordered all the parts: 4790k, 120gb evo, 1tb seagate, pioneer bluray, 2x4 2133mhz ram, evga supernova 750w and phanteks cooling(blue one). Im really happy with the cooling, great reviews and looks great. Thanks alot JackNaylorPE. I decided to go for 750w psu, because i will not sli my 780ti and still left some breathing space.
Now im lookin lg for mouse, keyboard and headset. My budget for those is £200-250. I play fps games and listen to music. Any help here?:-)

Yes, you will enjoy the install also.... that cooler was the easiest air cooler install I have experienced so far.

Is there really a price difference between the 750 and 850 ?

EVGA SuperNova G2 750 £80.90
EVGA SuperNova G2 850 £94.99

XFX P1-750X-XXB9£71.70 - £71.70
XFX P1-750X-XXB9£71.70 - £80.94

Mouse / KB / Headset
