Build help

[Danfalc]

Hey, I'm thinking of upgrading, as I recently got two gtx 260's given to me, my mobo only supports one, and it's even having problems supporting one as it's such an old mobo and I dont think my psu is up the the job either. It only supports ddr2 also (it's a gigabyte ga73pvm-s2h)

So decided to bite the bullet and upgrade, this rig will only be for gaming and I'm pretty close to exceeding my budget as it is.


Intel Core i5-2500K -£155.99

MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard -£144 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-188-MS

OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply -£65

I plan on using my current hdd, and monitor, is there anything I'm missing as I don't want to order then realise I cant finish and get playing and any advice you guys can give?

Thanks for the input guys, super appreciated, dropped down to that mobo and ordered.

mickyflinn, I'm just going to concentrate on building it first and I don't know much about over-clocking. But I will bear that cpu cooler In mind when I do dabble in that sort of stuff.

Yeah I know you're right, I'll tell my Mum not to ring anymore
I will miss her though.

Haha No my fault for being impulsive, I've put off upgrading for so long, I knew I had to order asap, or I would have just put it off yet again

Thanks again you guys are always so helpful on here!
