Hi guys I am planning on purchasing a computer, I am looking to be able to game on it and do some editing and upload videos to my channel 😀. So far I have decided on a i7 4790, a gtx 960, 1 TB of memory, a 430w power supply and 8gb ram. Could you please tell me if this would work and what I would need to upgrade to, i am worried about the PSU,as i am not sure if it will support it, i think i may need to upgrade to a 600W.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
 
with a build like this, you should be less worried that it is a 430w PSU, its that it's probably a low quality PSU.
since you didn't add the K at the end of the i7 4790, I'm guessing you don't want to overclock. a good a cheaper alternative to the i7 (and it is what everybody that wants this CPU should do) is getting the Intel Xeon (yes, Xeon) e3-1231 v3 CPU. it about the same as the i7, just it doesn't have onboard graphics (because its a goddamn Xeon), but cheaper.

can you post your entire build?
