New Build and need help...

[javi_garcia98]

I am trying to make my first build and its a gaming computer, here is what i plan on buying;

Case- LanBoy Air Blue

Motherboard-ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

Processor- AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition

Video Card- Radeon HD 6950 2 GB

RAM Memory- Kingston HyperX 8 GB

Hard Drive- Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB

CPU Cooler- Antec Kühler H2O 620

Optical Drive- Samsung 12x BD-ROM/16x DVD Writer Drive

Fans- about 5 Antec Blue Led 80MM Fan


I need to know how much watts my PSU should have for it to work properly with my parts.
If you have any suggestions to change my parts that will make it better you are welcome

Go with a Noctua D14 over an Antec Kuhler. If you insist on a closed block go with the Corsair H60.

You won't need the extra fans - the Lanboy includes plenty to start with.

Go with a 750W power supply if you plan on running the 6950 - Corsair and Seasonic are both good choices.

Other than that your build looks pretty good with a couple of exceptions - drop the 2TB to a 1TB and add a 64GB Crucial M4 SSD, and instead of 880 - go with the AMD 970 or 990FX - much more future proof.
