$1700 Gaming PC

[Bitall]

I Plan on Building my first PC in the next two weeks, I would like it to be fairly future proof , it will be used for gaming on fairly high settings. I will only have one monitor and do not plan on overclocking. and i am in australia

This is what i have come up with:

CPU:Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

Mother Board:Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

RAM:G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

SSD:Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video card:MSI GeForce GTX 760 4GB TWIN FROZR Video Card

Case:NZXT Phantom 530 (Red) ATX Full Tower Case OR Corsair 730T Black

Power supply:Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Optical drive:LG GH24NSB0 DVD/CD Writer

 

I plan on buying another gtx 760 and going sli in the future, also buying more storage. i chose that cpu cooler because it has pre applied thermal pasted and im a beginner and dont want to stuff up  

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

yes this is all over clocking but its there so if you ever change your mind you don't have to get a new ring

there is no such thing as future proofing friend

why do you always add pointless psu's? he DOES NOT NEED that wattage

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

why do you always add pointless psu's? he DOES NOT NEED that wattage

First  it will operate extremly Cool and quiet, Gives ability to add another top of the line 780Ti and still keep that quiet and cool operation, witch in a word is expandability  witch is what he stated "Future Proof"

You could run sli 780tis on a 850w power supply,just saying.

firstly he can run sli on 750w and still be "silent"

secondly there is not such thing as future proofing

thanks for the advice, but the second build was a bit expensive. and what i ment by future proof was just mean i won't have to replace major parts for a while.

I'd get this one, and you can change the case to a cheaper one and spending more on the GPU for something like a R9 290X. @SAV1OUR You always come up with great builds with a little overkill PSUs  .

pls i should have added it to the edits but the 850w's for crossfire and while 750w will work the 290's just power whores so its good to be on the safe side

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

You could run sli 780tis on a 850w power supply,just saying.

yes i know, but it will be like 5% away from the Max output of the PSU so it will run Hot and loud, and it wont allow like more upgrades that has abit of a high TDP,

suit your self, i got my beliefs and you got your's, aint gonna keep arguing bout it every time someone needs a build 

[scaryjam823]

No it wouldn't. You can run 780's on a 550w power supply and still have head room. Having two 780ti's is not going to add up to over 300w more. You need to do some research, I have seen dual titans run on a 750w power supply.

And it has nothing to do with beliefs, it has to do with facts. The fact is you are misinformed and need to do some research before you suggest parts that aren't needed to people who don't know any better. You do not need such a big power supply, especially when you're buying a good brand that will output more power typically than advertised.

well, look, that's my own belief when it comes to PSU/Needed wattage, if you are against it, it's cool

It has nothing to do with personal beliefs. Facts, that's all that is important. The fact is you need to do some research.

it's a fact that a PSU outputiing 80%+ of it's Max output will need to rmove more heat out of the inefficiency of the Power conversion witch i BELIEVE is solved by getting more than 20% more wattage than you need
