Hello,

I am new to making new computers and i can not decide what power supply I need to go with for my build. The specs are the following. An Intel DP55KG Extreme Series motherboard, an Intel Core i5 750, 3 Cooler Master SickleFlow Green LED (x3) 120mm (i think no idea how to find fan size), Corsair Vengeance Blue (x4) 4Gb sticks RAM, Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX550 Ti or EVGA GeForce GTX550 Superclocked (depending on my wallet), and either a Sea Gate Barracuda 750GB Drive or another 1TB Drive. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks For Your Time
Also Forgot To mention incase this matters its going to be a gaming computer if that makes any diffrence

I was thinking about going with a cooler master gx 750w but would that be like overkill for this build?

Have you bought or do you own any of these yet? I would change everything.

Also, 750w is overkill, and Cooler Master PSUs are infamous for having high failure rates.

Give me your budget, location, preferred parts, and tell me if you're going to overclock and/or SLI/Crossfire.

Oh and tell me if the OS and the monitor is needed and/or part of the budget.
