If this is a gaming build, you are spending about $1200 too much for not much in return, performance wise.

i7Baby · Jan 31, 2015

That should be OK.

RealHard Tech recommends 550W for a PC with a GTX980 in it.

You could probably make the build better. But if you just want to know if it'll work then YES it'll work.

i7Baby :

Well im happy then atleast i managed to build a compatible build.

What would you change? (The one thing im kinda set on is th GPU.. i really like that card)

I can wait a few days before i start ordering the parts so im happy to keep tweaking.

i7Baby · Jan 31, 2015

See above

vrumor · Jan 31, 2015

Yup, saved ya about $1200 there, nice list there i7Baby. And OP there would be about 0 dropoff in performance in terms of gaming.

I wouldn't recommend this PSU.He may buy an 750W PSU,so he has room for upgrade
And NZXT Source 530 case

i7Baby · Jan 31, 2015

The PSU is fine. He only wants one gtx980. And the Stormtrooper is a better case that the 530.

i7Baby :

Thanks il look it over. One thing i want to keep though is the GTX 980 from Galax.

Not sure how i feel about that case. Maybe it shouldnt matter but i want the case to have a certain clean stylish look to it... that case im not too fond of. I think the white version of it looks better.

thanks though much appreciated il definitely keep tweaking.

Is having a powersupply with too many watts a bad thing?? I did not know that could affect performance.

To be fair i dont want just a gaming build. While i do game ALOT i also like to make macros and i do alot of stuff that requires me to have 2-3 windows of a game open at the same time and more. I also want my computer to be able to do most things fast without worrying about spikes and what not.

i7Baby · Jan 31, 2015

You can change case and/or GPU without adding to the build cost. Or to the detriment of the performance.
