I know I have made quite a few threads over time but I've been having trouble with finance and what final parts I want. Anyway I have a budget this month of around £500-530 to spend on my motherboard, ram, CPU, case and psu. The case and CPU I do not want to change but I need help with the other parts. I already have an aftermarket cooler, the Gelid Tranquillo. I am going to buy a 580 and a Sata HDD next month.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £167.99
1 x Corsair Graphite 600T Midi Tower Case - Limited Edition White £139.99
1 x Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £119.99
1 x OCZ ZS Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
1 x Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9) £42.98
Total : £547.44 (includes shipping : £13.75).




Thats what I have came up with up to now. I don't know whether the wires on the the PSU will be long enough for the case.

Also I am going to be using an IDE drive from my old PC as a temporary fix till net month and will be buying a converter off Amazon which should last me, if anyone could recommend the best converted it would be a great help.

Thanks to anyone that helps.

I'm going to buy one of them for £13 instead.

What about the Antec True power instead then, I find it hard finding reviews on PSU's for some reason aha. 600T is a pretty big case.

Was the motherboard I chose okay? its a Gen 3.
