Need help confirming build compatibility

[sad.sulaiman]

Looking for new build, I did my best, this what I end up choosing..

*I already got from my previous Build the following:

**EVGA GTX 970 (will update in the near future not right now)
**x3 1 tb segate HD

are these parts well compatible?

Thanks a lot.

Yep, but that 700w psu isn't exactly great, non of the Evga x1 series were. You'd be far better off with a better quality 650w unit instead, such as the Corsair RMx or Seasonic Focus Plus Gold or Evga G2

Sorry I don't know how to reply to your comment directly. But is this psu superbad? I got good deal on it.

Thanks

It's not 'super' bad, just bad. Tends not to be very stable, the outputs are quite high for ripple, cheap interior components leading to short lifespans etc.

OK, it's 'super bad'...


Power Supply: EVGA - 700W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg Business)
This isn't a good deal at $60.
Power Supply: SeaSonic - FOCUS Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($74.99 @ SuperBiiz)
This for $15 more is a far superior value.

Thanks everyone for your help

No, worries, happy gaming.
Oh, typically, the gtx970 and an i7 are perfectly fine on a 550w, (I have a high OC 3770k /gtx970 on Evga G2 550w) as maxalge suggested, but you have stated that you will upgrade the gpu sooner or later and something like a gtx1080/ti would be better on a 650w, especially with cpu OC. Just to clarify why I suggested the 650w over a cheaper 550w. Better to spend a few $ more now, than spending double when getting the upgrade gpu. That Seasonic is good for 10 years, so there's plenty of time.
