I was wondering if this build would work, and if a weaker power supply would work instead?

good build, i'd go with a 750W from EVGA or a 620W from Seasonic.

Everything except the psu is good. Poor quality. I would go with the gq 650 watt instead.

Go with the EVGA P2 650W. It's on sale for 69.99 at NCIX US.

I would throw away that amd card and get a decent nvidia one. With all the issues of drivers and the lack of them having a lot of the technology that nvidia has i would just go nvidia instead. I had an r9 380x for a while and sold it to get a 970 and i couldnt be happier.

What? 970 is better than the 380x easily. And driver issues? Nivida just had some like 2 weeks ago. And lack of technology? Again, what?

Three things:

 

While the CX750 isn't 'bad', it's pretty mediocre. Try to get a 600W from SeaSonic or XFX instead. Or EVGA's B2/GQ/G2 series.

 

The V300 is a crap SSD. The Adata SP550 and the SSD PLUS are much better options.

 

If I were you, I'd invest in a better CPU cooler like the Cryorig H7 or the beQuiet Pure Rock for overclocking.

Thanks, I'll go with a less power full PSU, but a more secure one. I will keep the same graphics card since it's 60 dollar cheaper in my country (Norway) and delivers almost the same fps and graphics. The SSD will be changed to the one recommended, but remember I'll only use it as system disk and one game.
