MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard

Kingston Fury Black Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600Mhz

Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB DirectCU II GPU

Would probably be enough as the recommended for a 970 is 500 watt or something. If this was a fully AMD build it would be cutting it but it is probably gonna last. If you put it in pcpartpicker you get an estimated wattage and this gives you a nice indication of how close you are gonna be.

 

Edit: thought it was a 970 GPU but a 760 does a bit more still probably gonna be able to run it as it still consumes less then a AMD GPU. Can still try to put it in pcpartpicker.

 

Last Edit: estimated wattage is around 400 so you are gonna be fine. Get another SSD I read reviews and they say fast, but a lot of cons like it failing and problems with drivers. What is the price for that and what is the price for a MX100 or a Samsung 840?

That will be fine mate. 

 

A decent 450W would just cut it, but that 550W Gold psu will have no problem powering that setup.
