No compatability issues, it should be a great machine. I would try to get a power supply from a better manufacturer though, xfx, seasonic, or corsair. A low quality PSU can (and is much more likely to) go out and fry all your other components when it does. Good build though :)
 


Super Flower is one of the best manufacturers out there, but they dont sell to the states and are mainly OEM, like FSP. I think they might be Chinese or Japanese. That specific model is 80 Plus Gold rated and has 49a on the 12V rail.

Fair enough, i've never heard of them and i guess that's why...i figured if it was some no-name it wouldn't be any good. i stand corrected :)

btw, is there an easy way to tell what country/continent a forum member is in?
 


Usually you can just ask them lol :)

I'm from California, and I've only heard of Super Flower because they make some OEM power supplies for some companies. Reading up on a Tom's article, it seems they come from Asia.

That's an interesting article if you want to read up on power supplies for a bit. Reading through it, it seems that Super Flower makes some power supplies for PC Power and Cooling, which are some of the best you can buy, and are literally top of the line. They also make some of Rosewill's.

Hi Gratian Stefan, the Super Flower Golden Green SF-600P14XE(HX) 600W is really cheap, I have a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti, it need 1x6 pin + 1x8 pin connectors, same as your GTX 760 I think, I haven't found anything that confirms exactly what PCI-E connectors are on this PSU, the Super Flower site (http://www.super-flower.com.tw/products_detail.php?class=2&sn=18&ID=109&lang=en) just says "SLi = one cable", and has a picture of 1x6+2 pin connector.
You haven't posted back here so I assume the PSU had the connectors you needed? Is it quiet?
Thanks - info for Super Flower HX PSUs is hard to find.

Edit for anyone else trying to research this PSU, it does have 2x6 pin and 2x6+2 pin connectors, it's pretty quiet too.
