power supply: Corsair CX750 ATX 750 watt
case: Corsair Carbide serise SPEC-01

Thanks!

Yep. You got a nice little setup there mate. A Basic fan setup would be:

- Upgraded CPU fan. I use this one and it's awesome: http://goo.gl/RpS0MP
- Intake fan at the front of case (Sucking air in)
- Extra fan @ back to blow out hot air.

Optional:
- Side / Top fan.

Parts are all compatible.

I would get 2x8gb over 4x4 gb on the memory.

750w is overkill unless you think you will x-fire a second 270x in the future.
Regardless I would get a different PSU then the CX series. They have weaker capacitors that are not up to the task of heavy gaming.
Ideal is a PSU from Seasonic or XFX.

Hi
I will try to do what you said. If I upgrade my CPU fan then I could buy the same CPU without the fan? also the case contains a fan in the front and back

Im kinda a noob. this is my first build

True. 750w is it a bit much BUT I would get one just so you know you won't have power issues.

Yes either. This fan works with intel and AMD but It's good to have a good heat sink / CPU fan.

get the Antec Gamers Series 620w, great quality, and semi-modular for great cable management, and leaves plenty of room for OC CPU + Any Single GPU. Very cheap right now too

ok Ill get your fan and get a cheeper CPU without a fan. and did you say I need extra case fans or did you just not see it. plus if I get the fan thats 150 watts so 750 watts should be good

Thing is, even though that PSU says its 750w, it may not deliver that much, a 620 watt psu made from seasonic, is going to give more stable wattage than a 750 watt CX unit from Corsair

True but Corsair is a very reliable company

Not true, CX units are very unreliable, and the higher end Corsair units that are actually good and reliable are rebranded seasonic units.

I now am chosing the Antec Gamers Series 620w. Is it compatible with my build? here is my rig http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mfTvhM

Yes its all good now, I would just hate for you to buy the cx psu, only to have it fail within a year, potentially taking other components with it.
