First Build need a compatibility check

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vWwNWZ Thankyou anyone taking your time to read and respond to this. I just need this checked over for any incompatibilities at all. If you find any could you offer an alternative. Thankyou once more for your time.

All is compatible that looks like a great build. However if you want to save a little money you dont need even close to 750watts for that build the seasonic G 550watt or G 650watt would be plenty. And the seasonic g series power supply's are great i have the 550 watt version in my pc.

Thanks the reason I chose the 750w option was for future upgrades. I also plan to drop in a second 970 and some SSDs when I get the money.

Looks like a good build, my only advice, if it were my build, fully modular PSU and I'd lose the optical drive and HDD in favor of SSD, but we have to build with our own needs in mind. Biggest of those in my view though is the fully modular PSU, even if only for cosmetics later on when you can buy custom braided cables.

EDIT: also I'd use a different case if you're not going to be using half of the optical drive bays either for optical drives or some sort of fan controller, I just hate that wasted space on more optical drives then are needed. I'm keen on the idea of external optical drives via USB just to keep the inside of the case as clean of cables and excess accessories as possible, cable management is cluttered enough in my view.

The only attached cables are the 24pin main power connector and the 8pin cpu power connector which you will have to plug in anyways i guess if you want to get custom cables for some reason go fully modular if not there is really no reason, you would have to spend a lot to get a fully modular psu of the same quality.

Consider this build with just a little stretch in the budget, it puts you into DDR4, and 16gig of memory, being able to use 8gig of that for a Ramdisk for your favorite game might come in handy.

Two points, the sleeving on that PSU is crap, I know because I have similar sleeving on my PSU, if I could do it over again I would. But I don't even have a semi-modular PSU. I built my first PC in June 2013 and learned a lot by making a lot of mistakes, spending money in places I shouldn't have and not spending enough in others, the build I recommend in the other post is pretty much what I would do today if I were doing it today.

Second the EVGA PSU I recommend comes with a 10 year warranty, it says something about their confidence in their product to give a 10 year warranty, plus it's cheaper than your Seasonic, fully modular and gold certified. *grin* EDIT: and the cabling under the sleeving is black so it looks better too.

Well the supernovas are very good for the price (i dont know if the quality of the components quite stacks up to the seasonic) but that 10 year warranty is looking nice. The sleeving held up fine for me. Do what you think is best they are both great power supply's.
