Hi Guys, First of all is this build going to work? This is my first gaming desktop build that I'm doing on my own so I'm pretty new at this. If anyone has suggestions on with what I should change please comment on this. Thank you.
Motherboard:
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (Already have this)
If you're only gaming and do some light editing, get an i5 and spend the extra money for a 770, 280x or 290. It will be muuuch powerful than a puny 760. But it depends on your monitor resolution, and for 1080P a 760 would suffice but I would still buy a better gpu for future games.
You don't need 850 watts for single gpu setup, any 550-600 watts bronze rated PSU would be enough and will allow you to overclock everything to max.
Grab a 1TB hard disk drive like Seagate barracuda or western digital blue, 128 gb ssd will be filled quickly.
I'm planning to strictly only 3D and multi screen gaming on max (No web surfing, downloading, and ect.) and I'm planning to add a Second GPU to this setup down the road. Also my budget this round is $2000 CAN but I want it open to upgrading.
If you want to run SLI down the road, i would say get a 750-850W psu just to be safe. It is always good to leave a bit of headroom so you won't max out on the psu all the time :)
Also, if you're only running 1920x1080 resolution, the 2GB version will perform pretty much the same as the 4GB model. If you plan on getting into higher resolutions or multi-monitor gaming, then the 4GB will help a lot.
