    Will My PC work, and if it does, how well?
    « on: September 03, 2014, 05:14:31 AM »
    I am going to be building my first PC. It is going to be used for heavy gaming. I want to be able to play any game smoothly on max settings. I have listed the parts I have chosen. Unfortunately I cannot buy an parts that are more expensive then the ones I have now due to my budget. But if you can find parts that do the same or better for cheaper, please tell me. My main question is: Will all these parts be able to run together, And if so, Will they be able to do what I want and run any game on max settings.

    Looks pretty good, only thing I would change would be the PSU - EVGA have some good PSUs but that one isn't great, 750w is also overkill.  Something like this would be fine: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9.

    I would also really consider an SSD for a machine like that.

      How many watts should my power supply have for this?

      For that card NVIDIA recommend at least 600w.  You could possibly get away with less but to be on the safe side I'd get 650w or so.
