Need Help Building Computer (Desktop)

[Banshee]

Okay this is what i've got now,
-Is there a better SSD drive i should get than this one?
-So my hardrive+SSD would be compatable together on this build or?
-Good powersupply ?Any other reccomended powersupplys + SSD?
-Anything any of you would change / add?
-Should my memory be 2x8 or is 2x4 fine? what's the diffrence?

You dont need an SSD that big. Just one that is big enough for the windows install, 60gb is more than enough.

2x8 ram = 16gb, 2x4 = 8gb, i believe 8gb is enough for modern games i'm not 100% sure on that.

Your build looks fine, again, make sure the dimensions of your GPU fit in your case!

a 750wat psu is just too much and an overkill imo

Don't get a 60GB SSD it will just be annoying. It doesn't hurt to have some extra room. You only need 8GB of RAM. The GPU will fit in the case fine.

Agreed, unless you're planning on SLIing in the future get a 600W.

The SSD is fine, you might be able to get one from another brand for cheaper though. The hard drive and SSD will work just fine together, just make sure to keep the HDD unlugged until after you instal windows on the SSD. Seasonic is a good PSU brand so I wouldn't worry about any problems with that.

Okay any recomendations on SSD not sure if i should be buying an offbrand

I think the dimensions are okay but if anyone could check them over
GPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121779
Case- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352021

what ive got

I'm stealing this, when i begin to gather some money to buy mine.

The minimum PSU Wattage recommended for the 780 is 600w. getting the minimum requirement is NEVER recommended.

750w is fine, theres no such thing as overkill when it comes to PSU's.

power supplies are constant voltage sources not constant current sources, so the voltage across the component is the same regardless, but if it needs more power(aka more things turned on) the resistance is lower so more current will flow from the power supply. Both a 1000W power supply and a 300W power supply supply the same voltage to the connector, and on identical motherboards they will both provide the same current at all times, the only things that got changed were in going from AC-DC power, not how the DC arrives at the machine.

In theory you could take a silverstone strider 1500W power supply to power a mini ITX build that needs less than 100W of power and it would work just fine.

the 64gb crucial SSD is fine. its the same one i have actually.

You'll have about 3inches of space between the case and GPU which is fine.

Have fun with your new PC!

Okay i'm going to go with the 120gp just cause it's cheaper than the 64gb SSD( not sure why the 120gb m500 is cheaper than the 64gb SSD?) and go with the 750w, thanks for the help just so many answers and not sure who to go with etc ;L

The one i think i'll get?

Post on tomshardware.com if you want a second opinion.

If you're willing to spend a few bucks more you can change the SSD to this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz7te120bw which would be faster and more reliable. Samsung has the best SSDs around right now.

Everything else looks pretty good though. If you want a matching color scheme for your build I can look into that too.
