Rate my first gaming build.

Hi all, i was wondering what you thought of my new build. I am a 17 year old high school student that has barely any spare money and this is what i came up with.

-750 Watt FSP Raider PSU

-Asus B85M-E Mobo

-Gigabyte GTX 760 2GB OC Windforce rev 2.0 GPU

-Coolermaster K350 Mid Tower

-8 GB 1600 MHz RAM, Generic Brand

-Intel i5 4670-k Cpu Haswell

-Regular ass fan

-Already had hdds, screen, speakers, mouse, keyboard etc..

Everyone's opinions are welcome!!

Also.... i am thinking about sli-ing with another 760, do you think my psu is okay for it? I know i'll have to get another mobo, i'm thinking of getting an ASRock Z87 extreme4 one.... and in terms of cooling, because i do intend on overclocking when i go sli, what do you folks suggest?

Thanks

whats your budget?

do not skimp on the PSU especially if you plan to SLI or even overclock. the recommended brands for a PSU include Corsair, Seasonic, XFX and some Antec. for 2 GTX 760's you will want a quality PSU with about 800W. since funds are limited. just concentrate on a single GPU rig for now. you can still get a mobo to support a 2nd gpu, but you will also want to upgrade the PSU when you add the 2nd card. this will allow you to get by with a 500w-600W psu with your initial purchase.

something like this might work for you:

forgot the cooler...when you Overclock, you will need an aftermarket cooler, this one does a great job for the price...

Thanks so much for your reply. I forgot to say that i already bought the build a couple of months ago; also i live in new zealand and here pc hardware is much more expensive. I bought the whole build for the equivalent of $988 USD. I've read that my psu is pretty good for the price, btw FSP are the manufacturers of Silverstone, Antec and Thermaltake so it's basically one of those PSUs without the branding. So regardless of brand, would 750 W be enough?

Also, would that cooler you linked as well as my generic case fan be enough??

Thanks again
