Power: CORSAIR HX Series HX1050 1050W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready = $120
I just threw the one I made together buy surfing Newegg filtering parts I from brands I have heard good things about. I like Ratzzz build better will probably use it and sub the case for the Corsair.
The huge PSU is so my friend could do some upgrading without worrying about power. 1000 plus is a bit much but I am unsure of what he will add to the system in the future and the modular aspect makes cable management less of a task. It it were mine I would say screw cable management but it is for a friend so I have neatness in mind. Also is that GPU in the list able to do the whole streaming thing with the shield?
I don't know about the streaming to shield thing ... but the new GTX970 GPU will eat the R9 770Xs lunch ... and cable management can be worked out with a little effort.
Yes the 970 and 980 can stream to shield. A fast wireless connection is still needed but they can do it. Also the new 970 and 980 are very power efficient. The 980 is only 165 watt TDP when you compare that to Kepler a GTX 760 is 170 watts. You can safely do a 3 way SLI build on just a 750 watt PSU. Even lower depending on PSU efficacy.
I like the build you guys are cooking up. Looks like it will be a nice rig.
I would either the intel i5 or a 6300/8350 with at least a 280. They are going pretty cheap these days. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127789 even go lower with HIS if you so choose. Its kind of the new min standard. So raise that 1080p bar alittle.
