Looks great! although I would recommend a better PSU if you plan on overclocking.

This power supply should work fine.

Not to sure about that power supply is the extra 50watts really needed, And a couple of people on amazon complained about the noise of it.

Do you plan on overclocking? I would assume so since you are buying an I5 4690k with a z97 mobo, but I figured I would ask anyways. What would your budget be for the PSU?

caseydavies93 · Oct 19, 2014

I would say a maxium budget of 70-90 pound.

caseydavies93 · Oct 19, 2014

And i am a bit unfamiliar with overclocking as of now, But i would like it there as an option.

Its a little over budget but seasonic makes great power supplies. The PSU is the heart of your system, skimping on it could potentially mean destroying other parts in your system.
