Got some questions, wanna' build my first gaming pc soon :3

[SS Projects]

Hey guys, I'm saving money to buy a new gaming pc, and I wondered how much wattage would I need?
I think te components will be:
Case with 5 fans, 2 of them has LED lightning
AMD A10 6800K
8GB 2133/2400MHz RAM (don't know yet)
2TB 7.200rpm hard drive
And I'll buy a GTX 770 later on

I don't know what uses a lot of power so the components are a bit detailed
I thought of buying a 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Dual +12V Rails PSU, would that be enough?
(LC-Power LC7600)
Or how many wattage would I need?
Also would it be better to buy a Corsair CX600 which has single +12V Rails?

Aaand, could I use 2400MHz with the AMD A10 6800K?
(I'll use that first and get a dedicated graphics card later, the integrated graphics card needs fast RAM speed)

How could I use 2400MHz because I heard that I would have to overclock it to use it, is that true? And are there other ways to use 2400MHz without overclocking?

I'd be glad if you could answer one of these questions or more :3

Thanks anyway and have a nice day

Getting a good APU from the start to upgrade later to a dedicated GPU might be more cost intensive then going for a GPU from the get go or to stick with a good APU.

Your Mobo (BIOS) has the settings so you can OC the RAM. And yes, find a Mobo that supports those speeds from the start (not sure if there are any for those speeds).

Do you have a budget so we can look around and compose some stuff? Also any specific parts like the case? 😛

I made a list myself, could u say if you'd see any good?
This is what I wanted to get:

CPU & GPU: AMD A10-6800K Boxed
Mobo: ASRock FM2A88M Extreme4+ retail
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST2000DM001, 2TB
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast KHX24C11T3K2/8X
PSU: LC-Power LC7600 V2.3 X_Type

And I liked to get a gtx 770 afterwards

I want to do it like this because I'd like to begin gaming in august when I got like 6 weeks vacation and if I'd get a gpu at first it would have to be like a gtx 660, and I would have to buy cheaper parts, which I don't wanna' do, I think this is a good solution.
I have like 400 to 450 euros to spend on my pc, I couldnt get more before the vacation starts.

The parts you mentioned went over $550 from what i could find.
I've swapped out the mobo for a cheaper one (shouldn't inpact performance).
And got you cheaper ram with about the same specs.
Also a bit lower PSU with good reviews. This should also be enough to run the GTX770.

Bitfenix has better looking cases in my oppinion for that price. 😛

Oh forgot to add. If you swap out the 2tb drive for a similar 1tb drive you'd save another $30. Might be a option?

Oh that's cool, I really appreciate it but here, (I live in the netherlands) my list costs €418,70 and yours costs €417,12 so it's not much of a difference haha
But I think I'd rather go with the psu I picked due to it's higher wattage power and it's dual +12V Rails, also BitFenix cases do look great but I think the Zalman Z11 Plus looks like a beast and I really love it :3
And I think I might buy your mobo, because of it's AMD A75 chipset, (the other one had AMD A88X) do you know which one is better?

Also I look at tweakers.net (it's dutch but you can maybe translate it with chrome)

Mobo i mentioned.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A88M%20Extreme4+/?cat=Specifications
Mobo you mentioned.

Except for yours which has a slightly newer chipset and RAID5 capability there is no difference between the 2.
You are not going to run the RAID5 anyway and the Chipset doesn't impact (noticable) performance.
Oh yeah the price is different! I suggest grabbin mine. 😛

Personally i don't like dual +12v rails on low W PSU's. I also can't find it in the eggXpert list.
So i strongly advice against getting that one and stick with mine. Your system even with the GTX770 won't pull more then 450w from the wall at full load.
And the one i linked is tier 2 which is really good.

Wait what? I thought more +12V Rails was always better, it was for the cpu and the gpu right?
Hm, I wouldn't want a bad psu after all..
And was the mobo I mentioned better? (the difference is €1,30 here)
I really don't like xfx though, they make really cheap gpu's and I don't really trust them, which one would you recommend if you had to choose between:
Corsair Builder CX600 Bronze
Cooler Master GM G550M
Cooler Master G600
XFX Pro 550W
?

I think I might go for the CX600 it's like 5 euros more expensive but it's corsair, it does say ATX though, could I use micro-ATX with it?

Btw thanks for helping me out :3

Overall performance between the mobo's there won't be a difference. And yeah, grab yours if you can get it for that price. 😛

And for the PSU's you listed i'd pick this one,
- Corsair Builder CX600 Bronze (tier 3 though but still solid)

And yes you can run the PSU with any type of mobo.

Doesnt matter. With the Modular one you can leave out cables you don't need for a cleaner case.
With the Semi Modular one the Mobo and the CPU cables can't be taken out. Which you probably won't anyway because the pc won't run otherwise. If there is a huge price difference take the Semi, if there is only a $5 difference get the Modular one.

It doesn't matter anyway. 😛
