So I'm here looking for some advice. I have 2 computers 1 HPTC and one main.
The HPTC is getting old and needs an upgrade.as it's starting to stuggle with some of the newer files coming through. On top of this my main PC is also dated now.
I figure buy a new main pc and move the old parts down. I also want to keep the parts below from my current build is possible
Coolermaster full alloy case (Will drill 120mm+ holes in needs be).
Coolermaster 500W power supply (Don't know if this is going to be meaty enough.
Nvidia 9600GT (I don't play games and I can't afford a workstation GFX card)
The HPTC currently uses onboard GFX so I will need to buy a new passive GFX card for that. I'm thinking "1GB Asus HD 6450 Silent".
As for the Main PC I'm currently going with:
Bulldozer (Prob the 6core)
Asus Sabertooth 990FX
Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler
2no. (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Racing Red, PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC, CAS 8-8-8-24, XMP, 1.5V
90GB Corsair Force Series 3, 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD
How does this look? Last time I really looked into building a computers I was buying a core2 duo so I'm out of touch and advice would be great. I'm also not sure if the PSU will hold up to a spec like this.
Thanks,
Sniper.

Forgot to mention that I use the main PC for normal day to day stuff but also use it for work which involves: 3D studio max, Inventor, Revit and 3D studio max. Some of these are very heavy on RAM usage hence the 16gb.
