My specs are in my sig, I was thinking about the Corsair GS700 (even though it is a bit overkill).

Your thoughts?

PC Specs:  2x GTX 550 ti in SLI - Intel i7 2600k @ 3.4Ghz - Thermaltake Overseer Case - 8 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram - 1TB Harddrive - 500 Watt PSU that came with my old prebuilt pc lawl -  ASUS P8P67 EVO

Peripherals:  Razer Deathadder Black Edition - Razer Arctosa Keyboard - Logitech G53 Headset

Cool song of the day: Chief Keef - Round da Rosey    Changed my profile pic again...                                        Mountain Dew is good. So are video games and music. Oh and unicorns.

Eww 550 Ti's...

Yeah, it's overkill. A decent 500-550w is enough.

Get a decent 760 and a decent PSU for future proofing. Corsair and Seasonic.

I'm getting the HAWK from MSI. Generally, MSI has one of the BEST looking coolers in my opinion. The Gigabyte Rev 2.0 have pretty cool cooling. Asus is alright, only really recommended from me for the waterblock compatibility (normally).
