Is it balanced and is everything compatible?

This is the computer I am going to build. I already ordered all the parts except the power supply. Can you recommend a good power supply
Is the xfx 550 watt power supply enough power for this build?

PC partpicker is saying 423w. I would think the XFX 550w would be suitable for your system. I would only go higher if you think you will want to go SLI with that GTX 770. You will want a minimum of a 750w if so.

Only thing you proved is that you are a rabid AMD fanboy. :lol: The THG benches were beta, mine were retail.

I have a Sandy i7 build myself you idiot.he clearly went with what what fit his budget and not your stupid Xeon build. :lol:

@op sorry for all the bickering. your build will give ultra on every game, and allow you to overclock id say to about 3.8ghz, maybe even more. will give you the same performance, and better with the overclock, as the xeon build and the 8320 build. the case is high quality for a low price, the power supply is the right amount, and you should have fun putting it together and playing with it

Perfect top notch build overclock that CPU and it will blow by the Xeon build. Good work man have fun!

 

[logainofhades]

It will only blow by the Xeon if the OP overclocks + plays games that uses 4 threads or less. Stock settings they would be pretty much equal in everything using less than 5 threads.
