Whats going on Facepuch, So I havent built a PC in about 6 -7 years and now I know nothing. I want suggestions on a decent gaming build for around $900. I play Diablo III, SC2 and a few other games. I need everything including a monitor. I dont need windows. So let me know what you think.

[QUOTE=Kaboose5246;36688949]Question: Is a 700W Psu necessary? I'm not trying to skimp on money, I just really have no idea what is needed.[/QUOTE] A 550-650w would be more than enough for now. Consider my build, if your budget can expand, get a better psu, like a corsair hx series or something.
Thank you!
QuikKill is right, I only chose that PSU in case you wanted to expand in the future.
