Ok, so. I just bought parts for a new computer. first, here are the parts, then what I need to know:
i7 3770k (got it for 200$ at microcenter)
EVGA Reference GTX 670
16GB G.Skill RAM (1600mhz, CL9, 9-9-9-24)
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 (I wanted the UD3H Z77 but it had blue on it, I'm kinda picky about looks)
Corsair C70 Case
This is where I need advice. I bought the new 750W PSU from corsair, the modular one. it was 99.99. Will this be enough to power 2 670's and an OC'd 3770k in the future? :/
Asus 23.6" Monitor
WD Blue 750GB HDD
I didn't buy a CD Rom or a CPU cooler because I ran out of budget, but I'll buy those later (i can use the cd rom from my other desktops to install [not pirated i swear] windows on)
I got -65$ in promo codes and -60$ from the cd rom and cpu cooler i was gonna get, and my case comes with a 16gb flash drive.
Upgrades I plan on making: 90gb ssd for windows and a couple games, 32gb ram, another 670, another terabyte of storage. will my PSU handle that or will I need 850w? Also what do ya think? :D thanks a mil
 
Well, two GTX 670s shouldn't go above 340W unless overclocked, and a Core i7-3770k should stay within 77W at stock. Even allowing for other components, that still leaves a lot of headroom for overclocking that 3770k.


Except when they're not (CWT). ;)

A quick way to check is to go to www.pcpartpicker.com and then add all the components that you have. it gives an estimated watt usage, or you can look at the individual components and add up the wattage, another question is what rank is the PSU, is it bronze silver gold or platinum?
 

That's rather useless. Better to look at the 12V amps and any reviews.

@OP: Is it a Corsair CX750M or a TX750M? Or something else entirely?

Just make sure when you go to buy it that the one you are getting is made by SeaSonic. My cx430 is made by SeaSonic.
 

Hm, well, it's not what I would have recommended. But it should be capable of running your rig with two GTX 670s.


AFAIK, the CX430 is made by CWT and replaced the CX400 which was made by Seasonic.
