Good day to you all, hope all is well!

3 days until I make a pilgrimage to the holy grounds of the Overclockers UK Store in order to purchase my new gaming rig.

I just wondered if you guys could spot any other cables or accessories that might be needed for the build. If there are any, could anyone please list them below? That would be great. Thanks once again to you glorious people with putting up with my "noobish" questions :D

As above ^^. I'd get a better PSU. Bronze PSU's are cheaper but if you pay a little more for say a Gold, then you'll be getting a more efficient PSU which will help with your electricity bills in the long run. If I was buying your build, I'd want a 650W Gold PSU. Check out Seasonic, Corsair, OCZ.

*Edit* I see you've listed 2 of the PSU's I was talking about. :p

:DDDDD
 
The Seasonic is in my opinion the slightly better PSU but it's warranty is 5 years. The Corsair is a very good PSU but it has a 7 year warranty.

To be fair, you can't go wrong with either.
 
The CX600 will be fine for your spec. If you are thinking of going sli in the near future then the XFX850W would be a good investment.

Sorry, just noticed you have the V2, thought it was this but the non modular version.

And lol? I was all about gold platinum till i got educated on here, theres nowt wrong with bronze. All you have to worry about is a good brand, ie corsair xfx seasonic. You'll literally save pennies its nothing to write home about. Tbh there was nothing wrong with the first psu you chose, i've got the modular version
