Will this cpu be fine for my GTX 770?

[Sven6895]

So I'm getting a completely new build, and building a computer for the first time. I'm trying to find the right cpu that will have a little overclocking room, but still run the i5-4670k and the MSI GTX 770.

Would a 550w psu be enough for powering the machine AND having room to overclock? Or would it be not enough because pcpartpicker says the estimated wattage is 428w.

PSU: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr550rm

If this psu is not enough, could someone give me a link to a good psu within the price range of $50-100 that would power the build? Also I was not sure if I should just get the wattage for sli configuration, around 750-850 watts. What do you guys think?

It is enough with 550W.
For SLI depending on what gpu you have 750 minimum

In general, a PSU will work if it has enough PCIe 6/8-pin connectors for the graphics card.

However, I prefer to have the Power Supply stressed to no more than 65% for a few reasons including fan noise (which usually starts ramping up at 50% load). My advice is something more like THIS:

As for the 550 watt PSU questions, I'd say no.... so does Guru3D .... OK for stock.... not for overclocking

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 770 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 770 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
GeForce GTX 770 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1000 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

I don't have a problem with the 600 watts but I can not recommend CX series from Corsair or any other "builder" series PSU..... by "builder series" they don't mean me or you.....they mean the the system builders who sell their stuff at Target, best Buy and Walmart.

You RAM will hit the Hyper 212

For $30, I'd highly recommend taking the deal on the 500R

The MSI G45 at $134 is a much better MoBo for $20 more..... however when ya put in cart it's bumped to $153....if ya can argue the $134 price take it.

I normally don't recommend the EVGA PSUs but this is a good buy for the money at $59

If I put my cpu cooler in sideways, like in this build's pictures http://pcpartpicker.com/b/B0w , it would be able to fit, wouldn't it?

 

[JackNaylorPE]

I can't remember just how wide the Hyper 212 is..... I stopped using it after replacing 3 MoBos within a year for users who overtightened the mounting mechanism leading to failed MoBos. But the MoBo in the pic has an unusually large spacing between the RAM and CPU..... so whether it fits is usually Motherboard specific....unfortunately, unlike Noctua and Phanteks, there's no compatibility guide.

Those tall toothy things have only one cooling function and that is to "look cool". My approach is to lose the "do nothing" fins and make sure it fits in any build. These are the exact same spec models w/o the fins

While these fins served a purpose (when they were effective) w/ DDR2, they are absolutely useless on DDR3.

At more than 2" tall in certain areas the Corsair Vengeance could pose a problem for users like me who use large coolers such as the Scythe Mugen 2. I was able to use the Corsair Vengeance only after I mounted the fan on my cooler on the backside. Size is definitely a concern with heat spreaders of this size and therefore I encourage users to check that they will have enough space under their heatsinks before purchasing the Corsair Vengeance kit.

The problem I have with the Corsair Vengeance is the same I have with many kits of RAM on the market. Companies insist on putting large coolers on their RAM and it limits the choice in CPU heatsinks that can be used within users system. DDR3 does not require these elaborate coolers with its lower voltages which translate to lower temperatures then RAM saw during the DDR, and DDR2 era. Corsair is correcting this with low profile versions of its Vengeance line but ultimately I would like to see the average size of coolers drop instead of having to look for specific low profile versions of a memory line.

That's an old article and as ya see by the links above, Corsair does have the low profile line now. Note the mention of the Scythe Mugen 2 which was a very popular design some years back, oft considered in the same breadth with the Hyper 212. From what I recall of both tho, the Scythe was a bit thicker....which is expected as it performed better. Looking at it's 80mm width, if ya want them just cause ya like how they look, I think it should clear the ram on your board by 8 - 10mm if mounted vertically.
