that is a very good motherboard/cpu combo, but your going to kill it with the tigerdirect combo.

please list the games you play also.
 
What does it mean "to kill it w/TD combo"?
I am going to play Rome Total War 2 and other games of TW series, Europa 4 Universales, Civilization, Metro. I will also try Warthunder. I have not had a good computer for a long time, so I will explore all new games.
 
I am curious what would be a reliable capacity and brand of power supply for i5 4690, ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z97, GTX 760, 1tb HDD, Ram 8 GB, and plus 2 fans 122mm? Would Ultra LSP Series V2 650-Watt be enough considering that I will add later SSD 60-120GB , and another HDD 1-2TB. And does it match my hard ware, because I have no clue about how many pins I need and how many pins this power supply has.

On the video below at 1:30:45 a guy explains two ways that you can place your PS inside of the case. Which way is better?
 
Are you going to have your case sitting on carpet?

If so place it with the fan on the inside.

If no carpet turn it upside down if you case has a vent so you can get outside air for your PSU.
 
Ok.
Found out that the case that I wanted to buy in the bundle is not compatible with my hardware. This is thanks to pcpartpicker. I thought that the case I chose (Ultra Defender II Black ATX Mid-tower Gaming Case) is Mid-tower, but on the pcpartpicker it says that it is Micro ATX Mid-tower, and does not show this case when compatible mod is on. Thus I decided to stop on NZXT Source 210 (Black), because it is $30 and has 4-5 stars in reviews.
 
If I buy another gtx 760 and overclock i5 4690k processor in the future, will it be enough to have PS with 750W? And another question, is box cooler that goes with i5 4690k is enough for active usage of processor without overclocking?

750W is plenty if it's a quality unit, you may be able to get away with a 650w unit, if it's a quality unit.
 
Nvidia site says that for gtx760 based system, I need minimum 500w PS. The card itself consumes 170w. I would like to buy smaller capacity PS, but after seeing this info do not have much confidence. I think that in a year I am going to overclock this processor and get another card for SLI(crossfire).
I was thinking about this guy. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
Hopefully when I get rebate it will cost me only $70. But I would be glad to save 20 bucks if smaller capacity would be enough.

The GTX is 170w if overclocked lets say 200w the 4690k is 88w so lets say 100w if overclocked, add another 100w for the system you're at 400w. If you're set on getting a 750 w PSU this would be my choice.
 
I agree with Manny's math but that will add up so to speak only if the 500W PSU is quality unit that is not exaggerating the watt output numbers.
