I decided to make a new build and i am wondering what power supply will i need. Here is my build for now:
ASROCK Z87 EXTREME4
INTEL CORE i5-4670
KINGSTON 8GB DDR III 1600 HyperX (I will buy a second one in the future)
GIGABYTE 4096M GTX760 N760OC-4GD
SAMSUNG HD103SI ATA Device (1TB 5400RPM SATA2)
FORTRON RAIDER 750 SILVER 750W
I am planning to buy a SSD in future.

My questions are: Is the brand a reliable one? How much Watts will i need? Could you recommend me some power supplies? Is it a problem if the power supply is more than the recommended one? Will i need an extra 120mm or 80mm fan to cool the system? Is this build good for gaming? Thank you in advance!
 
Solution
If you are using a single display of 1080p then 2GB VRAM is enough. With multi monitor setup 4GB VRAM will be needed. And you will not see a difference in performance with a single monitor with 2Gb or 4GB VRAM. Good luck.

If you're not going to upgrade it's a bit high.
I wouldn't pick that psu.
Can a sytem be made by using the pc partpicker and what country than?
http://pcpartpicker.com/
You picked a not overclockable cpu (no "K"version) with a motherboard with which you can overclock,do you want to be able to overclock?
I would at least take a hdd that would be a 7200rpm one,like the Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST1000DM003 1TB,a good and not to expensive one.
Do you already own a case?
The cpu and gpu would be good for gaming but maybe one of us can get a little bit more out of your budget,what is the max budget btw?
 
I would not trust that PSU. Get this one :

And a i5 4670K CPU would be better with few more bucks, regardless of OC this is a good CPU.

GeForce GTX 760 - requires 30 Ampere on +12V rail and a 500W PSU minimum.

I will add the i5 4670K CPU. I will also change the hdd to a 7200rpm one. My budget is $1100(could go a bit higher). I will only need a Motherboard, CPU, Ram(1 stick for now), Graphics card and a GPU for that price. I have everything else(case, software, hdd, cd-rom). About the http://pcpartpicker.com/ site. Can it ship internationally because i live in Bulgaria and i don't have a very big variety of choice. I checked it and the prices are lower than the ones in my country. I made a different build here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2qj88 But if it can't ship internationally, i will go with the first build + changes.
 
I dont think they would ship to your country. I can suggest you a list, so that you can find the parts locally or online.

Thank you for the fast answer! Is there a noticeable difference between GeForce GTX 760 2GB and the 4GB version in performance?

Hi - I agree with lonewolf. Altho FSP has some decent PSU's, the Raider 750 silver failed Hardocp lab review, and only rcvd 7.8 (of 10) from jonnyguru
