I Need a PSU

Hi, I need a PSU for this build. I am planing to over-clock the CPU. Would the same PSU work for this build (Both require 323W without over-clocking).

 

Also is there anything wrong with the build? Should I change something? Please tell me if there is.

 

Thank you!

Carl, DaBeast

You can overclock that CPU yo, 4690k or 4790k would be needed on that mobo.

 

You'll be fine with any PSU in my personal whitelist in my sig that suits your price point.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

I'm assuming its $1000.

its best to ask and work with the OP and see if they can adjust budget for what they want.

I was going for $1000 but I also wanted to overclock. But do I not need a Dual-Radiator and aslo why did you change the SSD from San Disk to Kingston?

you dont always need a dual radiator for overclocking but it does help to keep temps down.

the fans that come with it should do a decent enough job if not maybe grab some noctua nf 12s there a little pricey so id just stick with the stock fans

 Is it possible to pain those fans because I'm not a big fan (hehe) of the brown and beige colors.

its possible yes im not sure how to go about doing that but i dont mind the color of the noctua fans and like i said before they are pricey and for the price i dont think youll see a large performance difference at least not large enough to justify the cost personally i use them because they are a more quiet fan another alternative would be corsairs sp and af fans

Thank you for the help, I might look into them in the future if the stock fans drive me crazy.
