Any suggestions on psu not sure if this is strong enough.

SterlingArcher

500 will cut it. Card tops 300 w max leaves 200 for the rest. Even with overclock.

You can bump up to a 600w if you feel more comfortable. About 10 Euro more.

Where you getting prices.

Darce1986

Thanks buddy. One last question would you suggest a water cooling system like a h100i or should the stock cpu cooler cut it?

SterlingArcher

Where you get the prices. The 500 w seems a little high so in guessing not hardwareversand?

stock will be fine on a CPU not overclocked. But you are getting a k CPU so may as well get the proper cooler.

One sec will check prices

Darce1986

I priced everything on hardwareversand. Any suggestions on a cheaper one.

Did you use Geizhals.de discount site for hardwareversand?

Darce1986

No haven't tried that. Will it save much money?

30-50 depends.

be quiet! SYSTEM POWER 7 600W 53.60

6 odd euro more than the 500w.

It is not modular but is a silver rating PSU. Bit better quality too.

Noctua NH-D14 cooler have a look at that one.

The Asus gtx 770 is 266 using geizhals, so saves a few.

Darce1986

Thanks for everything.
