Downgrade on the case (Zalman Z9) and drop the heatsink and use stock, use the cash to upgrade to an FX-6300. Change the PSU to an XFX Core 550W or Corsair CX500

You got no RAM either.

Convenient, I had this build already in Part Picker.

actually if its more energy efficient the ps, wont mater. also theres been test done for how much it cost to run a higher wattage ps versus lower and it was only 20$ at most per year or so.

I've never seen a graphics card take that much lol

with a power supply.....IT ALWAYS MATTER...if you use a video card with that acquires 400W with 30 amps but your PS is 800w with 25 amps......with will happen? Anyone?

There is only one modern card that consumes more than 400W, which is the HD7990.
The PSU requirement specified in GPU specs also accounts for the CPU, you do not need 400W just for the card.
