Ok and thank you very much. I'm American but I'm living in the Philippines. A lot of things here are priced higher here than in the U.S. and the cheapest place I have found to buy from is pcx.com and I'm going to make payments, pcpartpicker.com says it cost $2389.27 but with prices here I'm at $3148.14, I can probably go a little higher if needed or if it's really worth it but I'm also a bit limited on what I can get. My major usage would be for gaming and I would also use it for work, I'm an online English teacher so it's pretty much like using skype. Regarding the psu, on pcpartpicker.com it says that my build is at 404W and I heard that you should keep your psu watts as close to the amount of watts that are being used in your pc and I only have one more option for a psu that is 550W and the rest are 600W and up, I can find one somewhere else other than pcx.com, what do you think? Is it ok to go with a psu with higher watts or should I find a 500 or 550 watt that is of better quality? I hope this was enough info, if not please ask me more to better help my situation. Thank you for your response and have a good day.

I also changed to this monitor ASUS 27″ PG278QR ROG SWIFT 165HZ G-SYNC and I am willing to pay more to get a good psu. I also just remembered that the price I gave for what I'm paying includes a mouse, keyboard and headset.

Do not save money by getting a marginal PSU. The PSU is the most important part of a system, save elsewhere.

What PSU, Tom's has some good recommendations. Look for build quality not necessarily wattage. Wattage is only a small factor in the decision process. Who wants 500 watts of crappy voltage? Crappy voltage will introduce all sorts of odd system behavior.

I checked out the thermaltake toughpower grand rgb 650 and 750 on pcpartpicker.com and they didn't show up, those were my choices before the silverstone. Are you sure they are compatible?

The store I have to get my components from doesn't have a any of those components that were earlier mentioned except for maybe the 8600k. I'm not too concerned about the price but I definitely appreciate it. Right now I'm at $3276.39 or 173845 Philippine peso's. I just want the best quality gaming pc that I can get for my around that much money. Unfortunately it's more expensive here than in the U.S.

Get a better cooler, like H110iv2 or kraken x62 if you really like AIO.

what about the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Maker 92 MLZ-H92M-A26PK-R1 CPU Fan? I just need a fan for a couple of months then I was going to install a liquid cooling system. And you were right the Thermaltake - Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply did show up, I must have made a mistake when searching. Would the SilverStone Strider Platinum S SST-ST85F-PT 80+ 850W Power Supply have any benefits over the Thermaltake - Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply, I do want to install as many fans as possible in the future and but I'm not sure how many fans my case can actually hold and how many watts it would acually use.

I only have limited options for now in terms of a cpu fan. Could you check pcx.com for me please and tell me if there are any good options? Even if they would be ok for just a few months until I get a liquid cooling system.

I was also wondering, do you think it would be worth it to get the 850W of better quality in the future? Would I ever need that many watts for gaming? Is it possible to upgrade to that many watts just for gaming purposes? For example if I get more RAM, another GPU, additional cooling fans, a liquid cooling system and upgrade my current components to better quality parts, is it worth it?
