which is the cheapest part of all the main componets when building a computer I go away come back and you guys are still going on grow up

also gtx 770 is 230 watts metered

Ah yes I agree we are all little kids again but computers are like legos right, always had to fight about whose looked cooler

BTW the gtx 770 after a quick google search is right between 215-230W but usually lower because the number listed is the absolute max which it never hits anyway.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Ite continue this fight I will watch from the side lines

Hahaha no I'm good, I agree we are not very helpful but guys this reminds me:

atombomb30000 wrote but what about if he wishes to get the upcoming generation CPU? or maybe for instance a titan black? im doing it so he doesnt have to get a 750w then expend upon another PSU which will add on top.thats exactly what im putting across..if its overkill so be it which will be the money will do him a good job as he has got things that will last him for an extremely long time.. which he wont need to worry about for a few years....okay heres a simple point im trying to make

(this could be in the future btw)

oh no i wanted to get the devils canyon CPU line but my PSU wont handle the needed wattage!

now if he got the 1000w he would think thats an extremely good decision because he doesnt have to go through the process of ordering a higher PSU on top of the 750 which would need more money for both of them.....and plus whos to say there wont be componants that will need higher wattage to run? because give it 2 years the 750w will be the most basic for gamers...times change

im not trying to create aggro im trying to put my point accross so its efficient for him

Devil's Canyon has already been announced and it's basically better speed-binned Haswell with better thermal compound. Neither it or Broadwell, which will likely be even more power-efficient than Haswell, will make the PSU an issue. The GK110 cards also don't draw much more power than GK104 cards like the 770, so that's another non-issue. Predicting the future isn't a valid argument (see GTX 480).

root im not going into statistics but you know what im on about..technology will advance and it will need higher componants to support it i dont mean devils canyon is blah blah blah i mean in the general field of advancement..its best to be prepared

He probably won't be upgrading to anything that needs power for another 3-4 years. I have a 4670k and 760 sc along with my other components and only use about 450w max. I am running with a 750w and I oc my 4670k. He will have plenty of power room and if the time comes (which it probably won't) that he WILL need more power, he can easily slip out his old psu and pop in a new one... Sir, your argument is quite invalid.

Feel free to make a new topic if you have more questions. Sorry.
