Only problem with this for me is I don't know how to overclock, I don't think it's necessary, and is 550 power supply enough? Also wondering if my monitor is any good.

you dont need to overclock you can just use this build. no one is forcing you to overclock . 550watts is enough. this build is overall around 380watts. the monitor is perfect! for that fast response time and its usually what i choose for people.

True it is actually cheaper to go with the overclock version and as for the motherboard it is $50 more but I can use it in future and gives me more options. On the price site it said estimated watts is 424w and then someone else told me you have to add 20-50% of 424 to the total so I figured it would be more around 600-650. I think I'll stick with the 620 I had to be safe. Unless I get more opinions that 550 is where I want to be at. I just like to have multiples opinions before being sure. How did you add up that it was 380watts? And how much power I would need?
Thanks for your fast help by the way.

the cpu is 84watts max. with gtx 770 is 230watts. = 314watts. not all websites tell you the true thing. people use this psu with that build with not a single problem mainly because its cheap and you have plenty of power on it.
