Hi everyone!

Video card was fine anyway, was definitely considering a different CPU but wasn't sure what decent alternatives there was. I was also struggling between returning the motherboard or not but this one is great and fits my colour theme perfectly as well, thanks iamlegend!

[iamlegend]

We have had pimped your build if it wasn`t purchased yet.
I think you wanted that red-black aggressive look.

BTW, enjoy your computer!

[Bookaboy]

Do you think that my PSU wattage might possibly be a little bit low?
Sam

 

[iamlegend]

For your current Video Card, it is sufficient.

 

[Bookaboy]

Thanks, I changed my list a few months back and the PSU was fine for the previous build setup, but then I altered a few things including the video card.
Sam.

 

[iamlegend]

Haha, even if you altered it is still a bad build. By the way just enjoy your build.

 

[Bookaboy]

What wattage for the PSU do you think, maybe 650W?

 

[iamlegend]

If you are planning to upgrade to R9 280X or GTX 970 you should opt for 650W.

 

[Bookaboy]

No, I mean for the GeForce GT 740.
