PSU is fine, though I hope you're running at a minimum of 1440p otherwise you're wasting money.

nVidia cards are not power hungry, unlike AMD's cards.

 

 

You better be doing some heavy overclocking if you're getting that motherboard and CPU cooler!

uhm no?

What other mobo do you suggest??

How far do you want to push your CPU? WIth a H100i, I assume a lot so that should be fine if you're overclocking that CPU to 4.7-4.8Ghz.

 

 

If it were me though I'd get an ASRock Z87 Extreme4 and with the money saved, perhaps get a 4770k?

Gotta love that the 290X in quiet consumes more power than a 690 (which has 2 GPUs).

 

 

What do you mean uhm no? The graph clearly shows that most nVidia cards are power efficient.

690 was magic. 780ti on the orther hand is just as power hungry as any amd card.
