Hey guys, I have been planning to build a new PC after having run this outdated peice of crap for quite a long time.  

 

My parts list is as follows:

 

Core i5 4670K

Gigabyte Z87X-D3H

2 x 4Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz

Nvidia GeForce GTX 770

 

Samsung 840 series SSD 120Gb

WD Caviar Black 1TB

 

ASUS VE228H 21.5 inch LCD 1920x1080 LED Backlit monitor

 

I already own these things:

 

Windows 7 Home Premium

Cooler Master Hyper 212+

 

Now, I need some help on one thing you might have noticed is missing.

I already own an XFX Pro 650 Watt PSU,  80 Plus bronze(which don't you DARE say is bad, because its scored a 9 on a Jonny Guru review... :P_

Anyway, my main concern is that this power supply isn't going to be enough to push this much horsepower in a system.  I'm a little worried that I might get everything ordered in, build everything up, and then find out my PSU isn't going to handle it...

 

Any thoughts?  I've pretty much reached budget here and I don't think that I can afford to buy a PSU, but I might be able to get one later on.

Your PSU should be fine. But if you d wish to do SLI 770's you may consider upgrading your PSU... Eveything else seems to be ok.

That PSU is enough for your system and even a decnt overclock as well.  No worries there.

You should probably get lower profile ram so it won't get in the way of the cpu cooler.

I'd also bump up to a 23" personally. The extra 1.5in matter imo ;)

No need for a caviar black when you already have an ssd. A caviar blue/seagate barracuda would do.
