Long time gamer first time builder

Anyone have an opinion? Should I go with bigger psu or will this one meet all my needs?

+1, this build is great for the money.

I will only say that The Dark knight headsinck is 50 dollars and its great for the money,Logan did a review on it!

Good luck!

Suggestion: Don't go for cheap closed loop water coolers, a decent air cooler will outperform them.
The Dark knight is silent, powerful and sexy.

If you are on a budget, get the AMD option, the FX 8350 and a decent 990fx motherboard, it will save money for you to get a powerful gpu.

Use brennan's build.

will the cooler interfere with the ram heatsinks?

I honestly cant tell you but if the RAM does get in the way,then just simply put the fan on the other side!

+1 for brennans build. but i would swap the cooler for the dark knight one. just rotate the fans away from the ram dimms and its good ;)

Thanks for the confidence. I like AMD but kind of set on the INTEL chip and I have always had nvidia cards and can't complain.
