Hello, i've been having some problems with my previous build, so i decided that it would be a smart idea to slam it into a wall. Now i have a hole in my wall and i'm out of a pc, so that's a bit of a problem you see.

I have decided in all my previously proven wisdom to just start over and hold back the tears.
This is what i came up with:
The Motherboard of wisdom: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
The Graphics card of power: Gtx 970 strix
The Case of.. well it's shit really: Antec One
The Power supply of.. euh.. power: Corsair CX750M
The Hard drive of toughness: WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB
The Cpu of knowledge: Intel Core i5 4690K
The Cpu cooler of stuff: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
The Ram of love: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Please bestow your infinite knowledge upon me and bask in the glory of this build.

Health and safety warning: I have no clue what the hell i'm talking about, if you build this pc and it explodes please don't sue me. Throwing pc's against a wall is a bad idea, i do not condone it.

All other parts are high quality and will do good. :p

With SLI 970s i'd suggest a at least 750w unit. Something between 750w and 850w would work just fine. Anything higher too but you would waste some cash. Your CPU won't bottleneck SLI 970s so you're fine to upgrade in the future. :)

It's really a good quality build, which will run pretty much anything at 1080@ smooth on ultra settings.

The ONLY thing i'd change, is the PSU. Corsairs CX series is a low quality series and that's a really nice system you build there so i would not risk it.

I'd choose any Tier1/2 PSU from this list:

If you want to stick with Corsair you can go for the AX, HX or RM series. :)

Greetings wise one,

Could you suggest a psu? I only buy from this site tho: http://www.coolblue.be/?_ga=1.89031515.1186024890.1451087925 I'd really appreciate it!

Update: By the way, i have a corsair tx 650 laying around still, would that work?
It's this one: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/tx-series-tx650-80-plus-bronze-certified-650-watt-high-performance-power-supply

TX series is totally fine. :)

It's like this: AX - HX - TX - GS - CX - VS
So right under the really high quality units. 650w is also easily enough for your build plus any OC or additional HDDs and stuff. So if it works sure why not. :)
