It is compatible, but avoid the Corsair CX(poor capacitors) and it is normally overpriced anyway, plus 750w is overkill.

If you don't want to OC drop the cpu down to a 4460 and you should have enough to add a 120Gb SSD.

If you think you may want a 2nd 970 later get the 750w EVGA B2.

Corsair cx 750 works just fine. Bignastyid have you had cx750 fail on you ? Just cause you can read Tom's psu tier doesn't mean psu is bad. Had it for 5 years. Never any problems. Oc all the way.

ok, any of these would do. I'm not a hardcore gamer. I'm looking for something that will display really good graphics. Like im looking into a really good 3rd gen gaming system or something 4th gen but around $1000. I dont know to too much about computers but i want something to run games like, Skyrim, maybe not on highest setting, GTA, but primarily shooter games. would the suggestions that you guys gave me fit my criteria. Also do i need something this fancy or should i shoot for something like i said 3rd gen?

 

[brianx96]

Also want a tower that is flashy and cool looking but on the cheap side. Would like the color to be blue or green.

 

[brianx96]

Also can i choose any tower and it will be compatible with any motherboard or is there cretin type of towers that fit with cretin type of motherboards.
