Both cards are ratwd at 500W get a 600-650 before you burn your psu out and potentially everything else, people forget how important psus are, theyre essentially the heart of the computer

When creating a build with an APU such as the A10 7870K and a GPU such as the R7 370, how do the two cooperate with each other. What do I look for when buying a card to work in crossfire with this APU, is it the core clock speed and the IGPU base clock? Does the memory come into account...

However before thinking about that last comment, try a different power source such as another house, just in case

It could be caused by A faulty VRM on your motherboard, it has 12 power phases so it should prove better if you are overclocking the CPU mainly and the GPU. Are you overclocking? If so, then it could be the quality of the PSU you are using does it just meet 80 plus standards? Try going with a 80...

If I'm using an AMD GPU, and chose an AMD CPU will the two of these work together a lot better than pairing the AMD GPU with an Intel CPU, if so by how much? I only need answers to this question in particular, no biased answers please I do not wish to know which CPU is better, I know what I'll...

overclock sorry

I have those two components, I would go for a 750W gold plus standard Atleast, PSU is an important choice for your build, be sure to get one with minimum amount of ripple and Japanese capacitors, this will ensure stability of your overstock which I'll assume you'll do with the 4790K, hope this...

Try to get a decent power supply unit, as it basically determines the fate of your computer, for me personally selecting a quality PSU is a top priority

try this one, 90% efficiency For a slightly larger price tag, I was going to buy this one at first after looking at various reviews, hope this helps http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-80PLUS-Gold-Certified-Power-Supply/dp/B00EB7UITQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1438904019&sr=8-3&keywords=Hx750

Make that £75 on Amazon.co.uk

CS650M, 80plus gold, roughly 90% efficiency at load it is priced around £100

Get the same one as me, works a treat AX860I, 80Plus platinum, 92% efficient, that wouldn't be stressed out by your rig either, look on Amazon, they are £145 on Amazon.co.uk if you overclock the power supply here will let the overclock be more stable also

Take a look at corsair, they have good psu at gold standard too so decent efficiency and you can rely on one of them at 50-60% load, that will keep your rig nice and healthy look at RM550 for fully modular otherwise the CM550

I am going to purchase the MSI z97 gaming 5, and possibly 2 GTX 960 gpus, will the motherboard recognise these graphics cards and utilise SLI between them? I read that this MoBo will disable SLI in this particular situation, anybody with first hand experience have better knowledge of this? Thanks
