750 will be overkill, HX620 will be fine. unless you want tri-sli

What monitor are you running it on? Unless you are using one that supports 1600x1200 or above you might find it to be slightly overkill having both graphics cards at the moment.

I might suggest getting the non LED version of the Tuniq if that case doesn't have a window as it is a bit cheaper still I think but it is up to you.

Finally that PSU will be fine but the HX 620w as jak731 suggests would also be fine and is modular.

LED tuniq tower is on TWO so it cheaper until wenesday

Cheers guys.. Yeah it is probably a bit overkill but as its only £20 more its better to have it than not.

He will be running it on a 46" 1080p TV so its gonna need both the cards for the likes of crysis... Was even considering a Agea Physix as well... Oh and yes its gonna be a daddie of a machine..

The HX620 is available at a great price this week too.

Why put a cheap sound card in that set up though? It's a x-fi in name only..

Get the XtremeMusic oem. A much more worthwhile £20 spent
