What Wattage amount for my build?

[kubasniak]

y0 everybody!

I'm going to buy this build in 2-3 days and gonna overclock my CPU to 4.1 GHz or more.

I trust Antec and only Antec.

i for one would dump the 670 and go for the 770 and i would go for the 750wat psu just in case you want a extra card down the line.

also i would add a SSD for you OS and use the 2TB hard drive for storage just in case you need to format....always good to have that if you ask me.

i would also get some faster ram you are getting good motherboard and cpu but ram is middle of the road.

Both are higher than you need even overclocking. I would never use Antec but it's your dime I would just go with a 500 seeing all you really need is 360watts according to your build info

Neither. You'd only need 500w max (Max load would ring in at around 320w, even overclocked). While Antec is certainly good, Gold PSUs are more often than not a waste of money. Get a nice 550w Bronze Seasonic, Antec, PCP&C, or XFX modular.

i would also get some faster ram you are getting good motherboard and cpu but ram is middle of the road.

Faster ram wouldn't help any. Stick with the 1600.

EDIT: Also, if you're going to spend $120 on the board, spend $130 and the MSI Z77A-GD55.

I will buy SSD now or later, I don't know yet.

I won't dump 670 because there's not a big difference between 670 and 770.

RAM is ok and I won't change it because the benefit will be very small.

The 770 is a 680 that can push the limits of the hardware + gives you access to features like gpu boost 2.0 and shadowplay when it releases soon* how for near enough to the same price is that not worth it?

Also any reliable brand 80+ 500w psu would do the trick, personally I run silverstone units but if your insisting on antec than a http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/ante...supply-hcg520m will do the job nicely.

Much easier to get as you're building, it really makes a difference.

Yep, 1600 is good, not worth the extra $$$ for hardly any noticeable performance increase.

No point living in the past mate. 670 / 3570k is old.

I STRONGLY recommend an SSD.

Like others have said, get a ~500 W PSU. Anything below 500W isn't generally known for it's quality... rather it's price (cheap). Anything around 500W that is bronze or silver will do just fine.

So I managed better build, thanks for the advice Toffie

is that good?

I'd still personally skip the Gold PSU over a bronze. I can't tell what the price is from the link you gave.
