Hey linus community I am building a new pc and was wondering if 850w's is enough.

The build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/Npg4Jx

Also if you think I should change something in the build please let me know.

Thanks

850W is enough for that

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

You'll be fine even if you overclock. But if you're playing on 1440p, why not get 2 GPUs and save yourself some cash.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
