Hello,

I'm planning my first build and I have few questions about compatibility of the components. Here is the build.

Case: Cooler Master Full Tower Storm Stryker (Case has 4 build-in fans, if I'm not mistaken)
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i
GPU: Asus GTX780TI-DC2OC-3GD5 (I'm planning to go SLI in future)
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4770K 3.5GHz 8MB LGA1150 BX80646I74770K
MB: Asus Maximus VII Hero
RAM: Kingston 16GB DDR3 PC12800 CL9 XyperX Beast KIT OF 2
SSD: 2x Samsung SSD 840 Pro 256GB SATAIII MZ-7PD256BW
OD: Asus Blu-ray Combo 12x SATA Retail BC-12D2HT/BLK/G/AS
PSU: Corsair AX860i ATX 2.31 860W 80+ Platinum

Alternative PSU: Seasonic X-850, 850W, 80+ Gold
If 850W not enough: Corsair 1000W, RM1000, 80+ Gold
Fractal Design ATX 2.31 Newton R3 1000W Black 80+ Platinum


So basically my concerns: what PSU will fit in that case and what power supply I would need to run this PC?
 
Solution
For 2 - 780ti's go to 1000w , here's a great deal on one of the best on the market.

I was checking this website the other day and prices there are 50-100 EUR higher than in other online shops, so I just skiped PSU section. Thank you!

But how about this alternative - Enermax 1000W, Revolution87+, 80+ Gold (not arguing, just what to know why EVGA is better)



I'll wait for it as well.

P.S. I have an Asus monitor VG248QE 1920x1080 which I will run at 144Hz
