I plan on replacing the PSU once the warranty expires in 2 years.

Intel i7 3770k

EVGA Classified 980 Ti SuperClocked

16 GB (2x8) Crucial DDR3

1TB HDD

128GB SSD

CX 750M

CoolerMaster Aerocool Case (4 Mounted Fans)

Windows 10

This is used mainly for Gaming.

EVGA, Seasonic, Antec PSU's

Prepare yourself for incoming CX haters

For temporary use the CX is perfectly fine

 

 

Don't start a damn flame war either. I've had enough of it

 

TL:DR get a better PSU end of story

I really wouldn't run that power supply (the wattage rating is at 30C, which is kind of pathetic) but it's a nice rig overall.

Should be good but that PSU may not last as long as the warranty (I mean, CX + really high end GPU? Nope.)

Ech, the 660 Ti SLI I had before generated more heat and took more power yet the PSU had no problems.

I agree, but the amount of cooling I have makes up for it.

 

quoting corsair: "cx is ideal for basic builds"

 

i suggest you rethink life if you think a 980ti is a basic build...

I treat my 750 as a 600 which mitigates the negative effects of CX

But those were 660Ti's in SLI, this is a 980Ti, there's a rather noticeable difference.

 

EDIT: Well, not really, but i'm trying to make a point, Corsair themselves have said the CX series is for basic builds, and anything with a GTX980Ti is not basic, as @manikyath said

I'd go with EVGA for power supplies but that's just me.

As for the processor is that all you can get due to your mobo?

I could grab a 6700k but I'm not sure the $250+ would be worth it for a small performance gain.

If the drag race is on a farm, sure.

Just for gaming? 16GB and a Core i7? A bit over-the-top, wouldn't you say?

I like to live extravagantly

The 3770K is more expensive than the 4790K...

I got mine 2 years ago for $100 off.

*Sigh* the CX thing has been beaten to death. I get it, it shouldn't run over 30C. I'm not stupid enough to have my computer in a hot room.

Upgrading isn't even worth it tbh.
