R9 Fury

I5 7600k (might get a Ryzen one, i'll see)

Cryorig h7

8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400

Asrock z270 PRO4

Not so sure about which case I want to get.

you don't need 700W for that system....

 

Evga, Seasonic, XFX, ... somewhere here in that forum is a psu tier list that'll help to determine which models are good or not so good

I'm going to overclock both keep that in mind knowing that a r9 fury can take up too 420W alone..

NO PLEASE

I was just kidding of course, the shortest standard size PSU you'll find is the EVGA G3 which is 5.9 inches long. If there's a shorter one please tell me.

 

Otherwise, you have a lot of options, any of the EVGA G, P, or T series and the SeaSonic X series are the only PSUs I would personally recommend.

 

I'm iffy on the SeaSonic G series, it's good but not great.

 

Sure, there are a lot of other great power supplies out there, but I would only recommend these personally.

I think the best priced and quality 750W PSU you can get is the EVGA G2 series. You get full modularity, 80+ gold efficiency, and a good build quality with nice cables, plus great manufacture warranty. Jonnyguru.com gave it an excellent review of 9.8/10, I have the 750W P2 model which isn't as good of a dollar value but here's his review for the G2. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=380

Ummm... what? With two 8-pins and 75W of motherboard power you can draw up to.. what is that... 375W max? So no, it's not gonna draw 420W on its own.

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_radeon_r9_fury_x_review,10.html

Guru3D found that the card uses just under 300W at stock clocks and that card is hard as hell to eek much more out of. You'd be unlikely to demand more than 330W or so ever.

 

That said, if you want to Crossfire these cards then an 850W PSU would be a solid choice. If you don't want to, then a 650W is safe. Check out the EVGA G2/G3 and Corsair RMi/RMx.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Thanks, i'll downgrade than I guess, but as said: I want to overclock the GPU
