Need a new gaming pc got some ideas but new to this custom pc malarky

My prefered choice are: GTX 670, 3570k and Asus P8Z77-V DELUXE Intel Z77 might be going sli so need good psu but only 2 cards not 3 or 4 ;) and a windowed case would be nice aswell with a colour matching interior not silver in other words :( and a agility ssd 60gb for boot drive and 500gb or 1tb storage drive and a keyboard razer lycosa and razer death adder

Can't comment on the 670 until it's out and there's pricing/reviews out.

Cool, well if you're after those parts best to check back when they're out and we know price/performance for sure - no doubt the prices of other things will have changed too!

There's a rumour the GTX670 out on the 10th of May:

yea they will have to be changed and im pretty sure the components ive picked will not dissapoint and not be a waste of time

Only issue I foresee, is that if the 670 is ~£300 you might have to sacrifice some other components for it, which is not ideal - but no point in speculating too much! :)

yea i was thinking about upgrading the ssd to 120 and removing the hdd because i have a portable usb drive 500gb one but will it work for other storage such as photos, music etc
 
Yes that will work - I got a 120GB SSD in the budget and 2TB HDD - so you could remove the HDD and use your 500GB one no problem. Btw I'd recommend the Crucial M4 over an agility as they are fast and more importantly known to be reliable.

aah right though the agility has some many good reviews it would be reliable but the crucial is only £3 more

Well OCZ had some reliability issues early on, I think they're probably fine now. Crucial update when it's needed, and fix problems quickly if they do find them :)

About 20s from pressing the power button!

The controller the Crucial uses is part of the reason it's a bit more reliable :)
