So this is my first build and this is what I have got up to now.( sorry details in spanish)

Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 Blue x4

http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/products_id/7080

AMD FX-8320 a 3.5GHz (Piledriver) Unlocked

http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/products_id/8673

Asus M5A97 - Socket AM3+, AMD 970, 4x DDR3 2133Mhz

http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/products_id/7091
(Other motherboards http://www.yoytec.com/index.php/cPath/26_33_142)

Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 PC3-12800 1600Mhz

http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/products_id/6533

Seagate 3TB Barracuda

http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/products_id/7851

Thermaltake Versa II

http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/products_id/8676

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/cPath/26_42/prod...
or
Cooler Master X6 Elite
http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/cPath/26_42/prod...

Gigabyte GTX 770 4gb OC Windforce

http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-4GB-WINDFORCE-Grap...

This is what I'm planing to buy and I think everything works. CPU and motherboard, RAM and motherboard. I just want to double check with the interwebz.

I have no idea of the power requirements, the video card will take up a lot so I'm getting this one...

Cooler Master eXtreme 2 725W
http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/cPath/26_67/prod...

Still not sure if its overkill or not enough. I do want it about 25-50 extra to prevent too much heat.

I don't have all the variety of the world, you can see its more expensive than online because of shipping and else.

I WILL OVERCLOCK CPU AND GPU

Thanks for the responses

cooler masters power supplies are often low quality ...
the best psu for your system i was able to find on that website is this one: http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/cPath/26_67/prod...

also 212 evo won´t fit into the case you have selected... (limitation is 155mm while 212 evo has 159mm in height)

Doesn't it seem underpowered. Cause all i know is that the video card uses 600W! IDK if OC or not, but i will OC and OC CPU prob to 4.0 or 4.2ghz.

BTW im still on a budget and that new powersupply is kind of pricey. I haven't read much problems with Cooler Master, but I'll trust you in the amount of power but can't afford it :/ .

there is no video card on the market that has such a huge power consumption...
your entire system won´t exceed 450w mark even under heavy load...

well if you have to buy something cheaper at least get the second revision of GX series ...
it seems to be the best option you have if you will buy the parts from that retailer :

But it says it requires 600W, and you are saying it doesn't exceed 450W. I' obviously new to this, can I get some explanation please. You can check on gigabytes website.

And about the Power Supply I'll take the one you chose for me. Thx.

sory about the link , i meant this one (this is the second revision) :
http://www.yoytec.com/product_info.php/cPath/26_67/prod...

i know... they always go a little over the top with minimum requirements
because a lot of people buy cheap power supplies
which often cannot deliver full power promised on the box

So in summary im ok with a 500W power supply even if I overclock my CPU and GPU, and my 5 fans( i don't even know if they make a difference lol). So 500 is minimum but 650 just to keep it cool right?

1 last check, will my ram work with the motherboard? The Mhz?

650w power supply will be better for your system in long terms ,
just to be safe and also to have some more room for overclocking...
it´s better then pushing 500w unit near to its limits...

yes the ram will work...
