This is my list for my first pc build. I plan to do some oc-ing to both the gpu and cpu, but it wont be anything crazy. I was wondering what the psu should be to handle the power i needed. Thanks

Firstly, are you sure you want to get this build? You're about to pay 1600+ USD for a build with only an Intel i5 processor.

Regardless, change the GTX 1070 in your list to this GTX 1080:

This 70 dollar power supply will be great for your money, regardless of which parts you pick. It handles most builds.

Power Supply: EVGA - 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $69.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Anything good quality in the 550 W - 600 W range should be good. Examples:

Hope this helps. Cheers!

Thanks for that! Also will the blower style fan that is on the graphics card be fine with the case style. I heard that that is better for smaller cases.

It is most suitable for small cases, due to limited space. However, it isn't any less suitable for bigger cases.

By the way, not much reason to get an Intel i5 nowadays with CPU's like RYZEN 5 being available.

I was considering it, but I'm more of an intel person. Plus I can get like $30 off if I go to a near by microcenter. Also if I was to go with ryzen/AMD i would go with the 5 1600x but id have to change my mobo too and I like that. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WpnDd6 (updated list)

4 cores and 4 threads are starting to lag behind processors with more cores and threads. There is no such thing as brand loyalty, and we don't try to support that on this forum. If you want the best possible performance for your money, you need try and be as open-minded as possible.

But your build looks fine in terms of compability and quality, have fun building!
