Just one thing: You may need a little more than 500W to power a GTX 970 and a Quad Core i5 from Intel. 600W should be absolutely perfect for this build, I think its best to be on the safe side.

Posted September 3, 2015 thank you!! thank you You don't need a 600W PSU. Even if you overclock the i5 you won't come close to 500W. 970's are very power efficient cards. I would invest in a better quality PSU however. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/406160-psu-ranking-and-tiers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 3, 2015 ~snip~ Hey there Sticked, The build generally looks good. I would definitely consider a SSD for the build as it would reduce significantly all boot and loading times, make the whole system much more responsive and increase transfer speeds. It won't affect your gaming experience besides faster loading times, but it's still worth it. I would also consider a 2x4GB memory kit so you can upgrade with another 2x4GB down the road and make a good use of the quad-channel support (unless you are planning to expand your memory further). WD Blue is a great drive for such builds it should serve you well. Captain_WD. If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^WDC Representative, http://www.wdc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
