Just want to make sure I will have enough power and won't get any bottlenecking. My MOBO fried today so I need to kind of build from scratch as 1366 MOBOs are rare these days.
I am currently looking at an EVGA 04G-2974-KR which is a 4GB 970, an MSI Z97-GD65 MOBO, and an Intel i5 4430 Haswell Quad. I will be buying a new case as well, but keeping my old RAM, PSU, and HDD. My current PSU is a Corsair that pulls 750W, so I think I should be ok with using it as the 970 supposedly uses less power under load than my current 570.
Will I see any power or bottlenecking issues with this setup or will I be okay? I think I should be fine, but who knows, maybe I really do need that i7.
