PC Build question

blifter

Hi People!

I'm in the process of my first PC build and looking for power supply info and maybe a recommendation for a nice monitor 27-32 inch. I'm wondering would 700w be ok for power supply. Any advice would be well appreciated.

My specs: (Parts ordered/received so-far)

Case : Cooler-master Stryker
Motherboard : Intel DS79XI
Graphics : Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 FLEX
HD : 240GB SSD 520 series
Processor : Intel i7-3960x
RAM : DDR3 16GB
Cooling : Intel LGA 2011

The 2011 platform can get very power hungry when overclocked. 550W-600W should be enough. Something like this would go well:

Monitor - what about the Dell U2711 or the U2712HM?
Otherwise there's the catleap monitors (there's a big thread about them) which have similar quality panels although the stands wouldn't be up to the same standard. Much cheaper though.

Thankyou very much for the reply! Someone was telling me I'd need a lot more wattage but I wasn't so sure

Quality matters over everything else. Many people will over advise on account of there being so many crappy PSUs around that can't perform as stated.

You don't need to spend that much on a PSU, but you've already listed a fairly high end and expensive system, so I've suggested a PSU to match. If you want cheaper recommendations, let me know.

Monotype, you have been well helpful, when I get all my parts and get it together I'll let you know how it is.. thankyou
