Anyone mind checking my specs (YES ANOTHER! :P)

[Mawat]

Hi there, I'm looking at doing my first ever build soon.

I've already ordered a Zalman Z9 plus case, and Gelid Tranquillo CPU cooler

Basically the spec I'm looking to put in is:

Intel Core i5 2500k
Asus P8z68-v Gen3
Corsair Vegeance Low profile 8Gb (Will upgrade to 16gb in future)
XFX 650w core edition

I've got a recycled 120gb HDD for my OS, a 1TB WD green for storage, and intend to upgrade to a blu-ray drive, another 8gb ram, solid state drive and will get a graphics card in the near future.

Any suggestions, comments, idea's on my spec??

PS I don't intend to run SLI, its not specifically a gaming rig, more a powerhouse to do some gaming on as well

That all looks OK.

If i where you i would go for a MSI 1155 G3 Motherboard insted they are about the same quality but cheaper.

I've got a good deal on the Asus for £129.99 and I get a discount for spending so much as well

Then i would go with all that you said.

Seems ok to me, I will be using the same CPU and Mobo
