The link you posted does not link to your build. It simply links to pcpartpicker.

A good 750W PSU would easily be able to power up that build. Change ur CPU cooler to this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd14 and attach the Delta fans on the Cooler. And get this PSU http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

you'll save ~$2 from ur original build if u go with this plan

YOU DO REALISE HOW LOUD THOSE FANS ARE??? who told you to get those? That's ridiculous...

M0j0jojo · Mar 4, 2015

oczdude8 :

Im guessing hes gonna be overclocking. Those fans will even be louder for me, and i have 4 Scythe Ultra Kaze.

SniperCloud · Mar 4, 2015

Im not a personal fan of water cooling and i see how much air they push so why not? lol i either have my speakers cranked while playing or a headset on anyway and yeah im going to OC

M0j0jojo · Mar 4, 2015

SniperCloud :

BTW if ur thinking about getting those fans, you might wanna get a different case, I have a Cooler Master HAF 912 and it absorbs most of the fan noise, you might wanna get that Case Though it doesnt have USB 3.0 ports. and get a Lamptron Fan controller they are the best.

SniperCloud · Mar 4, 2015

But what other fans shoud i get?

SniperCloud · Mar 4, 2015

well....i have the case already

soooo thats out lol

M0j0jojo · Mar 4, 2015

SniperCloud :

You can get Scythe Ultra Kaze at NCIX for around $15

oczdude8 · Mar 4, 2015

you don't need those fans. That's silly. You don't realise how loud they are until you hear them in person. You have to yell if you want to speak to another person in the same room as the fans.

just get 2 normal fans; These fans are for cooling server racks (I actually also used it too cool a radiator of a fsae race car).

SniperCloud :

Buy scythe gentle typhoon. I've tried everything, and these are the best. do a quick google search and you will see how recommended they are.

You can buy from here :http://www.coolerguys.com/sgt120.html

you can run these at 1850rpm and not hear them over ur games.

SniperCloud · Mar 4, 2015

Ok i really like the scythe gentle typhoon fans a lot actually so im going to add them to the list

Im not going to OC all the time of course but for some of the more demanding games so i want to make sure my rig will stay cool enough not to fry so thats why i had those crazy fans on my list. i didnt know they were server fans and if they can cool off a race car they holy hot damn im glad i didnt get them haha

SniperCloud · Mar 4, 2015

Whats the absolute minimum i should get for a PSU with my build. Im buying it all tomorrow so im going to need to know ASAP
