I want to make sure the parts I picked are compatible and the power supply will work for a future 2nd gtx 970. Im not familiar with power supplies and need to know a good brand and what wattage to use for the gaming pc im building.
Mobo.
GIGABYTE Z97x-sli or
Msi Z97S SLI Plus
Probably pick the msi to keep the same brand going unless the brand doesn't make a difference and I can find a better price on one or the other.
Cpu. Intel Core i7-4790K $339 or Intel Core i5-4690K $239, not a cpu expert but they seem to be the most popular cpus out now. Can any one tell me the difference in performance?
Psu. ??? I was thinking a 850w corsair. I want to make sure im buying parts that are reliable and don't want to buy something "cheap" just to save some money. Id like them to last as long as possible . What major brand would you recommend?
I have a msi gtx 970 and plan on picking up another one at some point for sli. I also have 4 sticks of 4gb ripjaw x ram. Everything Will fit in my case with a ton a extra room for upgrades down the road.
Thank for any help. I hope I picked the right decent parts.
