Another G3258 Build for review

[platonik93]

Hi all, this is my first build , I would like to receive suggestions and opinion. I was also doubtful that I chose the right PSU. Here's the setup:

Intel G3258 3.2 Ghz stock, planning to oc to 4-4.2 Ghz
Gigabyte Z97 HD3 mobo
Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 OC 1072MHZ 3GB 6.0GHZ
Thermaltake Smart Power 750W 80Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply (SP-750P)
and 4x 120mm fans
DVD drive
and 1 3.5 HD

The G3258 might bottleneck the 280 a bit.
Don't get Thermaltake PSUs, they aren't very reliable. Get one from Antec, EVGA, Corsair, Seasonic, XFX, etc.
Aside from that, the build's pretty good.

Any idea on the wattage of the psu and the cable/connector requirement for the psu to have in order to fit my build ?

You might want to get a better CPU but oh well...
At least 500-750 watts with at least 1 6+2 pin PCI-E connector.

I know that, thats is why I opted for a Z97 board, I plan on future upgrade down the road. But for now ill stick to the bargain deal that G3258 is.
