PSU worries

[technerd]

I am looking into the parts for my very first build and I know that the PSU is the most important thing passed the CPU and mobo. My biggest concern is if I am actually getting a decent one and if it will actually do the power it says it will do, I've watch the Linus video on it, but newegg marks all the PSU power outputs the same: Max Power. The one I have gravitated to, not sure if it's too much for my system but it won't hurt to have too much, right? is this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151107 now it should hyper-link if it doesn't thank God for copy+paste amirite?

750w is to much if you arent going to sli, all you need a is a 80+ 550w

[technerd]

ok, well what exactly is sli? is that the bridge thing between GPUs?

Yeah, you can get a better and more efficient 500 to 600 watts PSU with silver or gold rating for around the same price.

SLi or X-Fire is basically running 2 GPUs in the PC

 

nVidia and AMD need a bridge for the 2 GPUs to communicate

thank you, so I could get the same one but at 520w? they offer that option at newegg

with one GPU 

 

yes 520 watts is plenty

If I have to, I can link the parts of my build, I was going to use a cooler master HAF stack and later upgrade to a custom water loop, but I don't think that what I'm going to be doing at start is gonna really constitute an entire loop to GPUs and and CPU and everything else you can loop to, like I plan on doing because WATER and i dont know that if I'm going to save for an upgrade in the cooling later that it matters whether or not I use stock CPU fan at first and I did have a GPU on my list but decided against it because I'm not a hardcore gamer or video editor or even computer user, although with this build I was trying to get more into it, and I decided that onboard graphics were fine for me on a G.1 Sniper board
