Dear Friends from Tom´s Hardware:

I am at the final stage of buying components for my new gaming build.

I placed the TITANX only for safety wattage measurement.

This is my link at partpicker: http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/p/PTrd8d

I will replace the titanx with the "not out yet" GTX1070, i put the TITANX only for Wattage measurement. As i have a 1yr old XFX 750W bronce PSU (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750xxxb9) that i could reuse, and i need to understand if i am safe or i need to buy a new PSU. Whats your opinion on this? Partpicker says 470W needed (no case selected yet).

As i am going to buy this in the next 5 days (friends coming from overseas) i could really use your advice here. Am i making some kind of evident mistake?

My plan is to get a gaming pc that would last me the next 5 years with smooth FPS, thats it. No 4k, but maybe higher than 1080p.

Thanks for your accurate advice, i did all the reading i could do before creating a new question.

Regards, Joaquin.

Those parts will be fine, I would personally go with an air cooler like the cryorig H7 unless you plan on going for very high overclocks. With the new gtx 1070, you would be able to run a 3 way SLI on that power supply without issues at all. This would be my suggestion for the case, as it is nice and quiet and keeps everything nice and cool as well http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/part/fractal-design-case-fdcadefr5bk

Great. I am not doing overclocking by now.

This fits on a medium case then? As i am not very good with cable managent but I love smaller sizes.

Is there some kijd of product to keep the dust as away as possible that I can add?.

thanks, love.

If you are not overclocking the cryorig H7 will still be an excellent choice for the cooler for the CPU, unless you have a stock intel cooler sitting around already, then I'd use the stock cooler and save the money.

The case I linked you is a larger mid tower ATX case which is very good for cable management, and from memory it also has preinstalled dust filters which can be removed for cleaning as needed.

Nuckles thanks for your precise replies. I know the case you selected is a great one, by all means i would get it. The thing is i am from Argentina so to get that by plane is a big effort at this moment.

So i will make it a little bit more difficult, If you could select a case from this list, witch one would you pick? I dont care about the looks, i only care about the durability of the hardware.
