Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated I have put lots of time and research into this build I would like the hardware to be upgradable down the line and this seems like it can do just that

Very nice build, not really all that budget. lol

But the PSU is waaaayyyy overkill. Also not of a brand that I would suggest.

Next time look at a PSU from Antec, Corsair, Coolermaster with a 80 PLUS rating. A 650W at most.

8.5/10

the reason i went so high on the power was to be ready for crossfire and any upgrades but would a 700w of a better brand be just fine?

 

[Novuake]

Yes even for Xfire with 6950's a 700W would be fine.

EDIT : Then again to be on the safe side might be best(and let some upgrading room). You will just use abit more power is all.

Antec EarthWatts Series EA-750 Green 750W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Continuous Power Supply

95$ only a 15$ difference from the kingwin and i split the difference at 750W total with tax and shipped comes to 966$
anything else as far as compatibility or up/downgrades i should look at?

and thank you for your input

switch your hard drive. Green drives are slow they are more so meant for storage. You wouldn't use them them for your OS or for applications if you did you would be disappointed.

Get which ever is cheaper. There's not much difference in performance where it will blow your mind. Get a SSD for that
