Build Completed - Any Last Words before I press "Buy Now" ?

[irtehleet]

Alright, I have my final build ready.

These are my last questions:

• Is everything here compatible?
• Will the PSU support everything here?
• If I did ever Crossfire another 5770, would the PSU still support it?
• Is everything I have picked out looking good for the price?
• Do you feel I need to know anything before I purchase this build?

Happy building!

Price Match it down, save 80$

will take you 5 mins to set up the price match, 80$ isn't nothing in my book brings down the total to 933.93 on my screen

[pp1111]

Use price match to save more =)

That is not a very good PSU. For a build like that, I would pair it with a real quality unit. Here are some recommendations:

NCIX.com - Buy Seasonic S12II 520W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 80+ Bronze 6+8PIN PCI-E W/ 120MM Fan - S12II 520 In Canada. (price match with Newegg: Newegg.ca - SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply)
NCIX.com - Buy Antec Earthwatts 650W Power Supply ATX12V V2.2 EPS12V Active PFC 80PLUS 120MM Fan - EA650 In Canada.
NCIX.com - Buy Antec Truepower New 550W Modular Power Supply ATX12V V2.3 Active PFC 80 Plus 120MM PWM Fan - TP-550 In Canada.

The thing about price matching is, I will have to purchase from different sites, NCIX offers a PC building service for $50, and since this is my first build, I really just want it done right with no mistakes.

I was recommended the PSU in the original post in another thread on this forum, I guess I will take your word and switch it up, but would you mind telling me the main differences in the PSU in my post, and the ones in your post? I see that mine has a higher wattage then one of them, but I know there are other factors, thanks.

Also, keep in mind I want a PSU that supports Crossfire in the future.

Dude that's not what pricematching is. All your parts still get bought by NCIX but you quote the best price. Use price canada . It's very rare that NCIX rejects a pricematch.

As for your power supply its not all about the most wattage. You want quality. Good brands are Seasonic, Corsair, Silverstone and a few others. For power supply pretty much anything except OCZ.

Price matching means NCIX will sell you the PSU for the same price Newegg is asking for it. You still get it from NCIX, but you save money since you pay the lower price.

The OCZ PSU you had picked out is manufactured by a company called FSP and uses their Epsilon platform, which is not very good. Many Epsilon units tend to produce out of spec ripple at higher loads, and their voltage regulation is also mediocre. The PSUs I recommended to you are higher-quality and will perform better in general.

If you plan on getting a second 5770, then I would recommend a 750W PSU instead. However, I can tell you that although right now you might be planning to get a second 5770 in the future, chances are it's not going to actually play out that way. Make up your mind for sure and decide what your PSU needs are, and if you want something bigger, I'll give you some suggestions.

Lots of people don't realize that power supply is in many ways the most important thing in your build. Often people will go nuts on a case than take a less than stellar power supply. Follow Zero's advice, he knows a thing or two when it comes to PS.

650W is good for 2 X 5770
I just bought the XFX
NCIX.com - Buy XFX 650W XXX Edition Single Rail Modular ATX 12V 52A 24PIN ATX Power Supply 80PLUS Bronze - P1650XCAG9 In Canada.
also suggest since they all one special this week
NCIX.com - Buy Antec Truepower New 650W Modular Power Supply ATX12V V2.3 Active PFC 80 Plus SLI Ready 120MM PWM Fan - TP-650 In Canada.
Corsair TX650W 750W is very quiet and good, too. HX650W got 7 years warranty but more expensive.
