Why got so much high-end stuff then get such a trash case? You should get a better case than that

 

Also if you want SLI in the future (And both GPU's OC'd) I recommend the EVGA G2 750W

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

650w PSU should be suffice, and have room for both overclocking, and expand ability.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

500w would work. 650W sli no OC, 750w if you would want to sli and overclock.

Case doesnt affect preformance (except maybe cooling) but other than that I dont see any need to spend money on an expensive case because I do not care about looks

Then get the Arc Midi R2 non-window version, minimalistic case but with fantastic airflow which is great for cooling. I recommend it because cooler components = longer lifespan

It has mediocre airflow at best really

 

Also holy balls the price on the arc midi has increased a lot. It was on $70 (No MIR/Promo) a while back

I'll try to find a slightly better case for the money, give me a moment

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-cas340wb1

 

Better case for airflow because of the positioning of the front fans and about as expensive

 

 

And also since you are active atm is a corsair 650 watt power supply good enough for overclocking my cpu and gpu? I kind of thought 750watt was a little overkill

It's enough but if you maybe want to SLI in the future I recommend going with the EVGA G2 750W

A good quality ~500w PSU would be able to power your system.

 

Can you provide a link to where you are buying from and a budget for it? We may be able to find a better alternative for you. Also, which specific 650w PSU are you looking at from Corsair?

If you will not SLI in the future then I would go for the Corsair CS550M, EVGA 500B, Seasonic X/G-series 550 or similar.

 

Otherwise if you might SLI then get the EVGA G2 750W

I like the case but I do not think it can fit my h100i at the top of it :(... thank you for all your help btw.. And if I go with the 750w psu wont it dev=crease my performance by a little? because if I ever do sli (which almost certainly wont) it wont be until a long time

It will not decrease your performance at all

The HX series one

 

Budget and links to store? I asked availability and pricing may differ depending on your region. For example, prices / availability  in the AU / NZ is different from the US.

 

Anyways, the HX650v2 is a good unit. It's a Seasonic G unit internally; however, it lacks the native connectivity to SLI (only has two PEG connectors as opposed to four). The Seasonic G and XFX XTR 650w (based on the same platform as well, but offer full modularity, a FDB fan, and a semi-passive cooling design) has four native PEG connectors, and should be in the same price point.

 

Edit: since you probably aren't going to SLI, I guess connectivity in regards to it is irrelevant.

ok well I have decided and I do not plan on doing sli ever. so which psu do I need to get? ( sorry if im making you repeat yourself)

CS550M, EVGA 500B or CX500M

 

Out of these I would go CS or EVGA

Out of the three that Archangel had mentioned, I go with the CS550M. It's the best performing unit of the three electrically (the utilization of DC-DC would offer better voltage stability at a wider range of loads in comparison to the entry level, group-regulated design of the EVGA B and Corsair CX).
