I'm not going to overclock, is my power supply high enough?
My video card requires 2 ports in my motherboard or something, so will it fit?

Also, just throwing out there, you know that there's no reason to get an i7 if you're just gaming, right? There will be absolutely no noticeable differencebetween it and an i5, so you can save yourself $100.

That should let you get a GTX 970 instead of a 770, which is significantly faster AND draws far less power - for a system with a locked i5 and stock 970, a 450w power supply of good manufacture is plenty.

Thx for your help!, so 550watt is enough for my build? ( I know it seems stupid, but i really want corsair )
Is this powersupply a good choice: https://www.megekko.nl/product/498/952043/Corsair-PSU-CS-Modular-CS550M or https://www.megekko.nl/product/498/951084/Corsair-Builder-CX750

I think they're both compatible with haswell (http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2013/may/haswell-compatibility-with-corsair-power-supplies) and the price is great
