I need a little help. Tax season is coming around and i got around $2000-$3000 as a new Desktop budget. This is what i have figured out so far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7N8gpg. I need to know if the power supply is going to be enough for when down the line i add in another gtx 970 strix. I have not built my own custom pc before but i have worked on them for many year and for the most part know what i am doing but i am unsure if the power supply is going to be good enough for a update or if i should use a 1000 watt power supply. I am also going to be switching the power supply to a fractal design power supply but didnt see that as a option on pc part picker. I am trying to go with a full white and black build Then i am going to put rgb lights in it so i can have it match my corsair k95 and corsair m65 when ever i decide to change the color

Everyone goes overkill with power supplies. A 650w PSU could power 2 GTX970s and a 5930k and have left-over room.

 

I'm not sure what you plan to do with your computer but honestly just go for a i7-4790k instead of the 5930k, unless you're going for 4 Graphics cards or are a serious creative content maker.

Couldnt open the link you posted because Facbook is blocked at my work, but this list is only 2000 dollars, so youll have another 1000 to spend on whatever you want
