Ok so I'm new to PC Building and I have no idea how to calculate wattage or anything, so I'm going to post my build and see if I'm going over and don't need that much.

I'm pretty sure the PSU is ok, but what are you going to use this computer for? Because if it's only for gaming, no need to go for an i7
[QUOTE=Jaehead;26921868]I'm pretty sure the PSU is ok, but what are you going to use this computer for? Because if it's only for gaming, no need to go for an i7[/QUOTE] Should I go for an i5 750, or 760?
Sure, but again, what are you planning to do with this computer?
[QUOTE=Jaehead;26921952]Sure, but again, what are you planning to do with this computer?[/QUOTE] Gaming, mainly, yet again I'm new to this so I wouldn't be surprised if I went overboard.
well, since I already have an $800 build saved up from another thread, I'll just post it here for you to take a look.
