GTFOOH · Nov 1, 2015

hey, everybody
finally i settled this component: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4sMxzy
but i'm not sure about that psu.. is it enough for 2x gtx 980 ti at stock speeds?
thanks.

Yes its a good psu.

Don't bother with a 60GB ssd. You can get a 250GB ssd for $72. Also don't bother with a low end water cooler since a similarly priced air cooler would outperform it. I made a couple other small changes like a better motherboard and RAM too.

850W is a marginal PSU(it will be stressed higher with such a setup). Better to have a little headroom for overclocking and all. So try the below PSU if possible.

i'm not sure that i'm gotta to oc those cards. Thanks.

CTurbo · Nov 2, 2015

850w is plenty.

The Asus Z97-A is my "go-to" Z board, but the Z97 Killer is good too. Keep it in if you want. Sound differences would be negligible between the two.
