4790k with gigabyte GTX 970

[MenciTooLoko]

Well, I actually don't really game. Maybe that will change when I can afford to get my planned build that's on my profile. My current PC specs aren't all too amazing. They are as follows:

—> Intel Core 2 Quad @ 2.4GHz

—> NVIDIA GT 430 w/ 1GB DDR3 @ 1.6GHz

—> 500GB HDD @ 7200RPM

—> ASUS LGA775 Motherboard

—> Unknown 300W PSU

It's a HP prebuilt system.

Still sounds 10x better than my laptop, the best i could do is run L4D2 @ 720p and that's only cause that game isn't too demanding even Minecraft lags on me under certain situations.. And as soon as i get my build done i wanna make gaming videos for YouTube but i just need to learn how to use Photoshop and whatnot so i could make my own logo and thumbnails also i gotta get used to the video editing since I've never done it before, and i have to try to find some LEGAL music or tones for the background intro aaand an intro video is essential for it to be at least somewhat professional. I want to be able to make a hobby out of it and maybe some money, who wouldn't want to make a little cash on the side out of their hobby ? Haha

[-rascal-]

I'm just one of those people that have to overkill certain things just to be safe haha ... And sounds good I'll look into that, thanks.

 

You don't need a 1000W PSU for even 4 GTX 970's in SLI.

The new 'Maxwell' architecture used by the GTX 980 / GTX 970 are so damn power efficient. 

 

In Linus's video, an entire system with FOUR GTX 980's only needs 620W from the wall.

As a matter of fact, getting a too much overkill PSU, can cause more power usage -- most PSU's are not very efficient below ~30% / 20% load.

 

Your system configuration, you are looking at about in the 300W range  (more or less if overclocking your CPU and GPU)

Damn straight!

We can be crazy together and rule this forum with craziness!

you should let me on in the craziness brother

well this is true but hey we can go crazy

 

@TS

on my render rig which has 3 loops in total. 1 for cpu and 1 for each gpu. each with a x2 480mm radiator just cause I want and each loop got their own pump and on each loop I got different psu that's separated from my entire system.

seasonic x-1050 80plus gold (I got this in a damn good deal for 110 bucks when I went overseas), Seasonic x660 80plus gold, and a seasonic platinum 1000.

 

it may seem stupid but it's not cause I just want to do it that way. oh and let's not forget the octopus cables my 900D. guess I'm just overall crazy when it comes to pc building.

This is similar to what im about to do
