Ok so first of all here is a link to the parts list I will be using for my build.

Any suggestions are appreciated ;)

My question is a 2 part question.
1. Is the 1200i too much power supply? I plan to eventually run another 780ti in SLI, and watercool both of them. Along with a case black light. Can I still get away with a 850/1050w? Or should I stick with the 1200i?

My second question is will that XSPC 360 handle cooling a 4790k, the mobo chipset, and 2 GPU's? If not will the XSPC 420 fit in the top of my case?

Thank You

1. Far too much, think more in like 850W for dual SLI. Water-cooling adds about 25-30W depending on the pump, so isnt really a factor.
2. I would be looking at dual 360mm or equivalent for that kind of heat output.

Just a recommendation, dont get a HAF-X. I have one and love the thing, however its a really old case now and its outgunned by far cheaper cases. Go for a Phanteks Enthoo Luxe.

1050w is my suggestion. 850w would be pushing it.

Change your case to Corsair 900D and get a 480mm rad for the top, 140mm for the back, 480mm for the bottom, 360mm for the other side, and a 240mm for the front. Then you'll never have to worry about heat.

You dont have to get all of those rads just one 480 for the top would be my suggestion.
