Need help with PSU selection

[redyashimaru]

Okay, so about a year and a half ago I built a gaming computer, now that next gen is rolling around I'm making some upgrades the problem is, I need a little help find what PSU I should get.

The specs are (going to be) as follows.

Cooler Master Seidon 120M - PC CPU Liquid Water Cooling System: http://

AMD FX 9370: http://

AMD Radeon 7870 Sapphire GHZ oc edition Cross fired : http://

Also I have Eight gigabytes of Ram installed, Thanks, let me know if you need more information.

Don't need the FX 9370. A FX 8320 or 8350 will be fine.
Info on motherboard?
Need more info on what you plan to do with this build. I'm not sure what you meant about the gpu. Do you mean you have 2 7870 in crossfire or a single 7870?

Plenty of power for the system. I agree on the CPU, I would just get an 8350 and overclock it. The 9370 isn't worth the additional $75. Use that $75 and the money from the CPU cooler to get a better cooler.

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43

What program should I use to overclock it, and what CPU liquid cooler would you recommend? I'd like a quite one.

Yes I want to have two Radeon 7870s (sapphire oc ghz edition) in crossfire

You would want a better motherboard to run crossfire and to overclock.Look for a 990FX motherboard.
The motherboard you have isn't good for FX8320 or 8350 or any higher.

That would really suck, saying this is a new motherboard :/ and holy Jesus the 990FX Motherboards I saw are expansive!

The 990X and 990FX boards start at just over $100.You can barely get a cheap Intel Z87 board for that price lol

And the reason he's saying that is the MSI 970 boards aren't cooled well, and the extra heat and stress from Crossfire, in addition to an overclocked 83XX chip, would be very hard on the board.

Oi, that's better, I had only done a brief search and the ones I saw had the price of like 200...Still, I'd hate to buy another new motherboard when this one is less then three months old.
