so u recomend a seasonic 1000w over the Rosewill TACHYON 1000W then huh. most people been telling me i need 4-way titans, that is so pricy though. glad i can use a z87, 4770k, and dual 770s with 16gb. that is reasonable in my book. i'm not into bragging just want to play on my tv because i spend most my time in my hospital bed in my room. speaking of witch can someone recommend a good wireless keyboard?

Yeah, Seasonic is a very reputable manufacturer in the power supply industry. Besides having a very good track record, they also manufacture power supplies for a lot of the other brands like XFX, Corsair, Antec, etc...

Well, a 2 way GTX 770 SLI is considered the minimum to achieve 30FPS+ in most games. If you're aiming for 60FPS+, then twin Titans is the way to go. But yeah, a 4 way SLI GTX Titan setup is a little overkill for one 4K monitor.

[GamerGirlAlice]

good to know about seasonic. i also figured 2 770s would be enough for 30 fps. do u think its enough to play wow in ultra or at least high settings?

World of Warcraft isn't a very demanding game. Here's a nice read for you: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

Looks excellent except for the SSD. Why only 80GB? A standard W7 64Bit installation can occupy up to 20GB-30GB. And that's not including the drivers for your devices, the page file, the hibernation file, etc... I wouldn't settle for anything less than a 120GB SSD.

its a caching ssd for the wd vlocraptor
