Is 750W enough?

[Giseth]

Im building a new computer, and im not sure what power supply i need.

The components im using is:

Intel Core i5-3570K
Geforce GTX 690
16GB DDR3 RAM
MSI B75MA-P45 Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 1TB (And maybe an SSD)
Corsair H60
And a couple of fans

Is 750W enough for a power supply or do i need more for this setup?

Also, any of these components which can't "Handle" eachother. I really dont want a bottleneck somewhere..


Thanks for all replies!

You have a B75 motherboard with the i5-3570k, if you want to overclock get a z75/z77 motherboard, and an aircooler will do the job and it's cheaper, look for the hyper 212 evo.
You don't need 16GB of ram if it's just for gaming, 8GB is suffice.
For a 690 GTX, a quality psu within 650W will be more than sufficient.
Tell what's your budget for the system.

My budget is currently at $2500. The build is about $2459.
The Hyper 212 Evo looks good, is it just as good as the Corsair H60? I mean will it keep the temperatures down?
I do more than just gaming, so its probably for the best that i have 16GB 😉

Intel CPUs are power sippers, but the 690 recommends at least 650w (they usually overestimate by quite a bit on that). A quality 750 is more than enough.

My suggestion :

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($223.79 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($119.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($47.98 @ Amazon)
Storage: Crucial M4 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($115.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($72.98 @ Outlet PC)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($369.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($369.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Arctic White) ATX Mid Tower Case ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Rosewill Capstone 750W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($99.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224BB DVD/CD Writer ($15.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $1546.67
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

You can change the 670 GTX in SLI for the 690 gtx if you just want a single card, but both are dual gpu configurations, the 670 gtx in sli is cheaper, and almost as good.
8GB of ram is suffice, this includes a z77 motherboard, the hyper 212 evo(yes, it's a good aircooler for the price), the ssd, a good, quality and silent case, a quality psu with 750W, it was at the same price as most quality ones with 650W.

Thanks for all the tips
A bit more expensive here where i live, so i have to check if these components are worth it 😉

Btw, what kind of fans do you recommend for cooling the rest of the components. Is the Corsair's any good?
I need two 200mm and one 120mm.

If you're from a foreign country, look for other psu, i thought that you were from the us since you mentioned the dollar currency.
Main thing is to get a z77 board, and a quality psu within 650-750, look from brands like seasonic, superflower, xfx, corsair, pc power and cooling, fsp, antec.

You can see if 750w is enough using this calculator:
