£950 Gaming PC, looking for advice

[The Toaster]

After putting up with an old Dell PC for the last 4 years, and with all the brilliant looking games coming out this year, I have decided to finally build a new one.

Approximate Purchase Date: 1-2 weeks

Budget Range: £900 - £1000 max

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Internet, compiling code, video editing.

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: All (New build)

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s): Anything trustworthy e.g overclockers, Amazon

Location: Dorset, UK

Parts Preferences: Intel

Overclocking: Probably not but would be nice to know I could

SLI or Crossfire: Definitely SLI in the future so system needs to support it

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080

Additional Comments: Would like it to look good, e.g colour schemes, but not absolutely essential.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: To play all the awesome next-gen games that are coming to PC

Ok, so I have already purchased the GPU and the RAM and so just need the rest of it.

My main question is this: I am planning to get another 770 a few years down the line when this PC starts to lose it's edge, will the PSU be able to handle it?

All your opinions are welcome.
Thanks

It'll be really tight, so I'd go for at least 850W.

Also, beware of Corsair Builder series, it has much less quality than their others. If I were you I'd upgrade to for example a TX850.

Everything else seems fine.

 

[The Toaster]

Ok, I was doubting whether 750W was enough, is the corsair the best value 'Good Quality' PSU? And is it worth spending more to get a modular one? I am thinking of aesthetics with cable clutter, also I know a lot of wires lying around can interfere with cooling, is this likely to be a problem or is it just going to take clever planning to route the wires around the case?

Thanks for the quick reply

 

[Kelthar]

As long as you have good cable management you don't need modular. Make sure all unused cables are stored neatly behind the motherboard tray.

Corsair manufactures great quality PSUs, but their Builder series isn't manufactured by them AFAIK, and uses cheap materials. It's a good idea to invest in at least a TX because if your PSU goes to hell, if it's low quality, it'll drag the rest of your computer too.

How about Thermaltake? Are they as good/better than Corsair, because there is a semi-modular 850w for around the same price as the TX850

It's the SP-850M

[Kelthar]

The TX850 has +5A on both 3.3V and 5V rails (30 on both) than the Thermaltake. If that doesn't matter to you (depends on whether you have any components needing 30A) then you can get the Thermaltake.

I have decided on the XFX P1 Pro 850W PSU, as internally it is identical to the TX850 but at a cheaper price (£79.99)

Thanks again for the help
