Hey everyone, I am currently picking parts for a new PC that I want to build myself ( first timer ).
I am basically done with my build. This is the rig:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ( might go with a standard version of the Vengeance series )
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB
PSU: Corsair 500CW
Case: Sharkoon T9 Black/Blue
Extra fan: Cooler Master Hyper TX3
SSD will come at a later date.
So, my first question is: will the power supply be able to handle this rig? I read a lot of reviews and watched a lot of videos and a lot of them say that the GPU I have should be paired with 600W PSU ( minimum ), because of the OCing.
Sites like PC part picker on the other hand say that I have more than enough wattage: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1o35r
And my second question is: what do you think of the build as a whole? I wanted to make one that is future proof, but not completelly overkill. I think I found the right balance with this build.
I can add a second GTX 760 in a few years if I really need to SLI it and I have room for 2 more RAM sticks.
Any suggestions and alternative ideas are appreciated.
