Hello,
Im building a PC and had a few concerns while putting it together. I bought the following:
MSI Z87-G43 Gaming MOBO
Intel i7 4770k LGA 1150
Corsair RM550 PSU
Dual-X R9 270k Video Card
G. Skill Sniper 8GB DDR3 Dual Channel Kit
1000GB 7200 Barracuda HDD (Qty 2)
Samsung SSD 850Pro (Use only for OS)
Cool Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler
Cool Master Jet Flo 120 Cooling fans (Qty 2)
Thermaltake Urban R31 Case
Questions: Is the PSU too small? I didn't think so initially but I saw on the Video Card box stating SYS Requirements 500W (or greater) PSU with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express.... does that mean theres only 50W left over for the other components?
Second Question:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130726
Here is the MOBO... it has 3 SYS Fans and 2 CPU fans. I have a total of 5 fans but 4 of them would be considered SYS Fans. Can I use the extra slot on CPU Fan or will I be confusing the system? My guess is it's overkill to have 5 fans, but I just want to be safe. and the top vent is designed to have a 240mm radiatior and since im not running liquid cooled im placing TWO 120mm fans.
Any Answers will be helpful and this is my first build so if I "Noobed" something up be nice
