[knightslugger]

send it.

What's your budget?

 

Power supply is overkill for that system. A 650 watts power supply should be more than enough, but i listed below 2 750w power supplies that are cheaper and just as good (or better)

 

1. 120$  (100$ after 20$ mail in rebate) : Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-750PX 750W 80+ Platinum : newegg

2. 110$ : Corsair - HX Platinum 750W 80+ Platinum  : amazon   newegg

 

So you're saving around 30-40$ on the power supply.  Move that to a better mechanical hdd, buy something NAS grade or with at least 5 year warranty, and get 3-4 TB since that's where the sweetspot is.

 

I'd also argue that it's kinda silly to spend 800$ on a video card and install it in a 55$ computer case. Are you even sure the video card fits in that case (length wise) ?

 

edit: are the Cablemod cables kit (for corsair axi , hxi, rm ) compatible with supernova p2 or you just forgot to change them in the list?

Yeah, I do have to agree this build is a little imbalanced.

Also make sure to check if the HUE is compatible with the Corsair fans with the controller. ^^

I googled it but I can't find anything about the controller that comes with those fans. The fans themselves are not compatible with the HUE controller.

 

EDIT: And since you're doing RBG fans, maybe check for a motherboard that has some kind of RGB support like Aura Sync, RGB Fusion or whatever. So that you can sync everything up.

You can't just pick any random cablemod kit , you have to check their compatibility list and get one that's suitable to be used with your power supply.

For example, Corsair has 3 or 4 different sets of cables, so you have to pick a cable kit that is compatible with the power supply series you decide to buy.  A kit for Corsair may not be compatible with Superflower (sold in US by EVGA under their brand) or Seasonic or beQuiet or FSP or whatever else you may pick.

 

As for the power supply, like i said, 650w would be enough, I suggested those 750w power supplies because they had best value for money (100-120$ for 750w)

Should you change it to a Corsair 760w platinum? I don't know ... technically it would be a perfectly fine power supply but I'd check if this is a relatively fresh model (released this year) and if you will find compatible cablemod sets of cables

Here's a cable guide for Corsair power supplies ... you'll most likely have either Type 3 or Type 4 cables depending on the exact series : http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13740

 

If the psu series/model is 1-2 years old on the market already, you may be able to get power supplies with better specs or bigger warranties for same price. For example Seasonic Prime power supplies are excellent and have 10+ years warranty and you can easily find cablemod kits for them. Slightly cheaper Focus Plus Platinum are still excellent and again, you have cable kits for them
