So you currently have 3 Drives, 16GB of RAM and a GPU? Is this all in boxes so far or do you have these in a system? Everything that you want to buy looks good with everything you already have or bought. Generally, if you want a AiO Liquid Cooler, they don't have that much of a impact on how much Watts you need for the PSU. But 750W is pretty good, but a EVGA G2 PSU is better IMO.

Looks good, but yeah, I think you'd be better off with an EVGA, Seasonic PSU. The CX PSUs aren't good for higher end builds.

Just wondering why go to haswell when skylake just came out? It would make you less temped to buy a new cpu later on. I'm guessing Croatia is expensive when new hardware comes out.

yes the CSM is supperior to the CX and it's a much more recommendable PSU for sure.

 

If you only ever plan to use ONE graphics card then a 550W or 600W would be plenty...just saying.

don't get the gigabyte board. it won't let you set adaptive mode for your cache ratio and vring. go with msi, asrock, or asus instead if you're going with the 4690k

 

you don't need that big of a psu if you have a 970. even if you went dual 970 in sli, you'd only need 650w for a solid overclock on the gpu's and the cpu

 

the fractal case is excellent, i have one

 

if you need help overclocking the cpu, check out my cpu overclocking guide. link in my forum signature

 

for a single 970 and a 4690k, all you need is a 500w psu for overclocking them both

 

edit:

 

get an evga g2 or gs series psu

520w is more than enough. do you want to go sli with the 970? if so, get a 600-650w psu

if you are using this for photoshop, premiere, and streaming, go with an i7 or a xeon 1231v3

 

don't get a gigabyte board for overclocking the cpu. it won't let you set adaptive mode for  your vring and cache ratio. get the z170-p from asus instead or the z170 pro gaming if you want sli

 

don't get the cx series psu, they are shit
