[Solved] Feedback on my build

looks good.

what psu would you recommend that i get?

If possible, push for the Sapphire 7870 XT or Powercolor Myst Edition gpu. Tahiti LE is a very valuable card for its price.

for the price cosair power supply cant be beat for the price and there quality..some of there models are rebranded sesonic units.

i mean in terms of voltage

If you don't have plans to CFX then you can just run with a XFX 550W or a Corsair 600W depending on how many other parts you have in your build

CFX, I would aim for a 750/850W PSU

Looks fine. The 1TB WD Black Drives have been off and on sale often as of late so try to fine one of those. I think the sale price has been around 80$. The 3570k is really only required if you intend to OC. Which I would always recommend with a modern processor anyway but some people refuse to do so.

As Stickmansam mentioned I would do the UD3H unless you really need those added features. I just did a high end build with one and I cannot really see the value in the cost.

As far as PSU goes....plan ahead. The draw of your system at the moment will be fairly minimal and a 500 watt PSU would certainly be enough. There are a few things to consider though. Well built PSUs pay for themselves. I have a corsair PSU in my HTPC that is nearly 9 years old and still runs beautifully. If you buy a nice PSU expect to keep it for multiple systems.

Also if your draw is only 460 watts buying a 500 watt PSU may not be ideal. Fist off it gives you no room to expand. Second it ensures you are working that PSU at its near max capability at most times lowering the life expectancy of the unit. Finally most PSUs are most efficient in converting power drawn to their output at the 60-80% capacity range.

what ram do you think is suited for this motherboard?

so instead of the 3570k should i get the 3570?

I would grab this set of ram right now as it's the cheapest CL9 set of ram
Same set as mine but grey instead of blue

If you don't plan to OC past 4.2ghz stick with the 3570 (because the 3570 can turbo OC to 4.2ghz)

one more thing, whats the difference between the 7850 and the 7870 when playing games?

The 7870 gives you more fps and ofr gaming arround 1080p high/ultra while the 7850 is 1080p high
the 7870xt is for 1080 ultra (somewhere between 7950 and 7870)
