Looks like a pretty nice plan. Only thing I would say is that 650w might be just a tad on the lower end of what you could get. It's probably enough for everything you have, but most people seem to 750w or higher just to have plenty of headroom for future upgrades.

Both those CPU's are good OC'ers, but the 4670K is just new and within the budget so that is why I went with it. You could get some Corsair AF120's (case fans) and a couple Corsair SP120's (rad fans) that will help with the cooling of the components in general. You could also look at getting a fan controller because they look cool imo. Cheers.Originally Posted by Tempted

Not so much on that PSU over the Capstone. No need for 750W that is Bronze rated and less efficient than the Capstone. Also, the case that had to be on the build was the NZXT Phantom style. Seems like cutting the quality of the PSU, a bit cheaper of a MoBo and no CLC which will lower the OC head room (not saying the NH-D14 isn't a monster at cooling) was to fit the GTX 770. I do not think that it is worth it to cut corners on something like a PSU and the CPU cooling since the OP wants to OC his CPU for sure. Might as well get a solid PSU and a CLC from the get go and be set for. Later, a custom loop can be installed or something of that nature for cooling. Also, 7950's are a steal right now and they are great GPU's.Originally Posted by Tarun

now you have a H100i for cooling a Phantom style case a 128GB SSD n a decent power supply to run it (YOU ALWAYS DONT NEED A GOLD CERTIFIED PSU TO RUN THE SYSTEM )

firstly 750 watts PSU for future SLi plans you go with a gold certified PSU n pay 90$ wats the use ???? i mean i know it runs efficiently but you wont be be able to even CF/SLi in future better go with a decent PSU which can atleast SLi the cards in future secondly that mother aint cheapo its a decent board for its prize thirdly D14 can clock that chip to its max taking in consideration the motherbard thanx for the frank review on my buildOriginally Posted by boxwunder13

As for the PSU, I have put plenty of the Nexus 750W PSU's in gaming and enthusiast rigs(I build custom PC's) They are great little PSU's. IMO it's not going to make much of a difference going with a Gold 550W PSU or a Bronze 750W. If he was going to be maxing out on the PSU it will be a good choice to get the gold, but a 750W will leave plenty of room for OC on both the GPU and CPU. Nexus PSU's are tough little things.
IMO either rig will more than be suit him, but they may need a little tweaking here and there.
As I'm sure we all know the percentages, just in case...
In a way I can agree with you and in a way I can't. 7950's are quite a steal right now, however they only really compare to a GTX760. I recently put up a post about the 2 cards and what the conclusion came to was if you are going OC the 7950, the 7950 is going to be your card, but if you don't the 760 will. GTX770's are supposed to be the new GTX680's so there is no loss in getting one.Originally Posted by boxwunder13
