Quick Question

[Graviityy]

Im planning a new build and this is what i came up with,

i7 4770k (not gonna OC)

8gb g skill ripjaws 

gtx 780 FTW

Corsair h100i

ASRock Fatal1ty Z97x Killer

EVGA Supernova nex 750g

Thermaltake Core V71

 

My question is, is the 750w PSU enough?

Yes

Yes, if you're not overclocking get the 4770, not the 4770k (only difference is for overclocking)]

Also, don't get a Z97 board, get an H97 board. Same thing, only overclocking differences.

[Tech_Dreamer]

yes you can! you can even run it on 600 watts!

The NEX750W isn't particularly good and you won't need 750W for that build, especially if you aren't going to overclock. You would be better off with a good 550W or 600W PSU. Something like the Seasonic G Series 550W.

Okay i also noticed that the gtx 780 needed atleast 42 amps on the 12v rail, does this power supply have that?

What Powersupply? Can you link the specific one you're looking at?

Both the evga and Seasonic psu mentioned are plenty for a single 780. Like @daemonowner mentioned though, you're better off going with a solid psu than one that's not as good of quality and much bigger than it needs to be.

If you're not going to overclock, get a 4770 instead, and unless you nee the features or like the look of the motherboard more, the just get some kind of H97 board. then put the money you saved towards a nicer PSU (like a nice Corsair or Seasonic one).

We wouldn't recommend buying the NEX750 just because there are better quality options on the market for a more competitive price. But if you already have it, that's not an issue. I believe the power supply you're referring to is the 80Plus Gold NEX750 (correct me if I'm wrong). It comes with a 5 year warranty for a reason*. It's not terrible.

 

*10 years when you register the product with EVGA.
