That's a nice setup! But try going for 8 gigs of RAM if you can. It makes an appreciable difference.
Also, what's the wattage on that PSU?

Also: Two sticks of four correct?

Edited by Spiffy Caboose: 4/19/2013 3:54:42 PMWhile that's enough, PSUs are most efficient at 50% load, so I would consider that. Also, a PSU is one thing you can use in later computer builds, so it might be a good idea to splurge a little I noticed the idea of crossfire-ing the GPU was mentioned in the thread. I wouldn't run two HD 7770s off a 450 watt PSU

Anyway of knowing the load before hand?

Not exactly, but many sites offer estimates based on the components you have selected. Newegg offers this.

Any recommendations for a PSU? Otherwise I'm going to play it safe and stay within the brand name and just look for a higher wattage.

I would say 650 would be best for that setup, would handle extra stuff when added, even a second video card. Maybe bump to 750 if you want even more futureproofing for the PSU. I use a Corsair, I've had no problems with it yet. Antec, Thermaltake, Rosewill, and Coolermaster are all good brands. I would recommend looking into an 80+ PSU. They don't supply any more power than the non-80+ PSUs but they draw less from the wall, meaning less waste and cooler temperatures. I would also recommend looking into a modular PSU. I made the mistake of not getting one and I have to deal with a clusterf*** of wires in my case.
