Is this a good rig?

[Viperlization]

Hey! I just recently look at PC parts and I was wondering if this is a good build
CPU - FX8350
MOBO - Asus M5A99X
RAM - 16GB Hyper Fury 1866MHz
GPU - ASUS GTX 970 STRIX
SSD - 120GB KINGSTON
HDD - 1TB SEAGATE BARRUCUDA
Cooling - 212 EVO
PSU - XFX XXX EDITION 750W
Case - Coolermaster Storm Enforcer
I was comparing prices with PC Specialist (I wouldn't consider buying from there) and it said with all these parts, it would only use 460w of power? is that true? Do I really need a 750w PSU? I'm confused.
Thanks!

You wont need a 750W psu, get a 600W one so you can OC and SLI.

Thanks! Is this an alright PSU to use? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Bronze-Supply/dp/B009RMP44O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417628692&sr=8-2&keywords=corsair+600w+psu
Also, do I need to get them semi modular cables or the fixed ones?

Its more video editing, with the odd game or two, I'd say about 70/30

Someone said I should go for this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J01K3E8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
What do you think? Should I bother? Also considering this is my first build, will all the cables come with the computer? Or do you have to buy the pin things separately? Thanks

You should be fine in that case.

I accidentally linked that. It's from someone I helped yesterday. You don't need the extra 750 watts, but the price is similar, so it may be worth looking into.

GET EXACTLY THIS. The extra wattage will help you in the long run. If you get less wattage, there 'could' be a potential bottleneck, even though the watts are under by quite a bit.

Yeah. 750w could also help you with potential upgrades in the future. I have nearly everything on this list in my PC. (Haven't updated my rig yet)



Edit: The wattage would be MUCH bigger than what it says. I am using a 550w on my 2nd computer (kind of an old PC , with a quad core from 08' , GTX 650 Ti SC)

Have oyu done any GPU Accelerating with the GTX 970? If so what are results like on a 1080p video (Rendering)

Power supplies lose capacity over time also, so you don't want to get a PSU that is only powerful enough because that will change down the road.

SuperNOVA G2 are DAMN GOOD PSUs buy it if you can.

 

[datRobot]

Thsi would actually be better because it has more wattage.
