New Build Help

[vashts]

Hey guys i need help on deciding how much power i would need for a computer im building for the first time, i will overclock some not alot. Here are the items i chose, please feel free to suggest if i need to drop some things or add things.

 

 

CPU i7 4770k

CPU Cooler a cm eisburg 240 prestiege or a swift tech h220

RAM 2x8 gig although i might not need too much

MOBO z87 gd 65 gaming motherboard

256g SSD

2- 2 ter HDD

SLI 780

Case cm storm stryker

LG blu ray optical drive

A gaming keyboard and mouse not sure which ones yet

Power supply  evga 1000w

 

And if it matters i plan on getting 1 3D monitor and a normal monitor

 

My budge is about $3,000 USD

850 might be pushing it.

1000 seems ok since there will be 2 780s.

in these days i'm doing some configurations for a friend of mine, and i red more than once that evga psu may cause problem especially with MSI and Gygabyte mobo, maybe they fixed it, maybe not, i'd go with another brand, just to be sure..

Did you think about watercool everything? you should have enough budget for it.

With a 3D monitor you will have a higher frequency, usually 144 Hz vs 60 for a stock monitor

800-850w is more than enough.

1000w is overkill.

i do agree with you 850 is more than enough

my friend is running 780 sli on a Corsair AX860w PSU and its fine

around 850watts will be fine but 1000watts gives you some more room for overclocking and all the expansions you can think of. If you're planning on adding a third gtx-780 at some point and overclocking cpu + gpu then i'd go for the 1000watts

A third 780 is very impractical as the performance increase falls off.

A 800w will be plenty even for heavy overclocking.

Thanks guys really helped me out! i ended up getting a corsair ax860 platinum for my power supply with some miner tweeks for the other components
