What is with you people and those overkill power supplies. Get 550-650W. EDIT: You can afford 550w gold for that price.

And for mousepad I recommend Qck+, original is too small.

Looks good.

 

only thing thats possibly worth looking at is since you need wifi, see if you can get a mobo with wifi built in.  but I don't think you can find one for the price of your mobo and wireless card combined...

@tihor29

if you do this, make sure it can still put out the amps required by the graphics card.  lots of lower wattage output psu's can have lower output amps also

 

but IMHO, there's nothing wrong with going a little overkill with the PSU.

Gold rated ones don't have low output amps. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182262

The psu is something i was debating how much power does a overclocked 770 need because on pc partpicker it says I am going to be using 418 watts. Also later i was thinking of sli so might as well go to 750

Get a quality 650W unit. It will be quieter b/c it is runnign at a lower percentage of its maximum load than a 550W.

Like always I'm going to repeat myself, if you do sli you do it now or just upgrade to single more powerful gpu later.

which would you recommend i was looking at corsairs 600m but no 650s

good point but i dont have the money for a sli 770 i want to wait for them to be cheaper

yeah, I know there are plenty that still put out good amps, I just wanted to mention it so the OP doesn't make that mistake

+1 on this

 

but if he does go SLI, I'd recommend at least 750w even if it is a little overkill

All of these are 100+ $ why wouldn't I just get the 750 for 64$?

It's for gaming and video editing as well as mild coding

all 3 of those are 80+ gold rated vs the one you're looking at being 80+ bronze.  I don't care much for energy conservation on a desktop, but to get that better efficiency rating they need to use better quality internals.  Which means a better psu overall, more stable and cleaner power for all of your components.  that means a more stable system, longer life, possibly even better overclocks (not by much).  Now this doesn't mean that the 80+ bronze psu is crap and its gonna ruin your system, it'll be fine.  But if you can afford it, and those psu's meet the amp requirement (I didn't look at that), you'd be better off with a gold rated 650w psu than a bronze 750.

 

however, 80+ ratings isn't everything.  if you really wanna get the best psu for your money, go over to www.hardocp.com or www.pcper.com and read up on the psu you're interested in.  both of those do very thorough psu testing.  but this is if you're really anal.  if you don't wanna go all OCD over it, a gold rated psu from any reputable brand will be fine.

What kind of videos are you editing? Just gaming videos?
