Very nice, but psu a bit weak....

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:
•GeForce GTX 670 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
•GeForce GTX 670 SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

sound and clear Lemin I'll get a better one, as this is my first pc over clocking is way over my head, I think I've got a lot of learning to do before I look into that ;)
 
Every rookie builder skimps on their PSU to start with!

:)

Good revised choice though. The PSU is the heart of your PC, you need to get it right.

That's the reason why I've joined this site so I can chat to people who I can learn from ;) I love the whole idea of building my own pc, cant wait to get started, anybody in the Essex area fancy giving me a hand so I don't blow the thing up lol

That PSU would have been fine as the Haswell will use less power than Guru3D test system.

On another note heres a cheaper GTX670 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-170-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2294

Or with a stock cooler - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-164-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2294[/Q

I'm having real trouble choosing a graphics card, I just want to be able to play any game I want as I'm used to with my xbox.
 
Lets put it this way,

The MSI with the fancy cooler is cheaper and clocked faster than the Asus and still has a 3 year warranty.

The even cheaper one is a bit over stock speeds and the stock cooler fitted to 670+680 cards has never been described as noisy.

Fancy setting it up for me ;)
 
The Prodigy allows a maximum length of 160mm for a PSU that XFX Pro 650W is 170mm!

Nothing wrong with the Thermal Take 530W PSU but I could still tweak the basket a bit for you......

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail with FREE Grid 2 PC Game £263.99
1 x MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC Twin Frozr Power Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £259.99
1 x Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £109.99
1 x Toshiba SSD HG5D Series THNSNH 7mm 128GB Solid State Hard Drive - (THNSNH128GCST) £89.99
1 x Avexir Core Blue Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U16001008G-2CW) - Blue Light £89.99
1 x BitFenix Prodigy 'Yang' Mini-ITX Cube Case - Black/White £69.95
1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £67.99
1 x LG CH10LS28 BD-ROM 10x BluRay ROM / DVDRW SATA-II Optical Drive - Black (Retail) £63.98
1 x Thermaltake Smart Series 530w Modular '80Plus Bronze' Power Supply £49.99
1 x Corsair Hydro H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler *Manufacturer Refurbished Unit - 90 Day Warranty £35.99
Total : £1,115.95 (includes shipping : £11.75).



GPU is just as good but cheaper, same goes for the RAM. SDD is much better being faster. Bluray is a retail unit so should come with software. Added a decent CLC cooler (is refurb'd mind) which isn't much more than the air cooler you have spec'd.

Hope this helps
