You are in a bit of a pickle fella as the UD3H mobo does SLI/Xfire so it does make sense to get a PSU that can run a 2nd GPU of your choosing. If you know you won't dual card then a good 500W PSU is ample for a single GPU setup

I own the Z9 case too and I'll tell you now you really want to be looking at modular PSUs, there isn't much space between the back of the mobo tray and the side panel to hide cables. The Max length for GPUs is 290mm (off the top of my head), so be careful as some of the 7950 GPUs for example might not fit (the GB windforce does fit ok)

with a 7850 or 7950 not really any need to run dual GPU's though

Then why didn't he just buy the Z77-D3H? Just giving the guy the facts

Not too keen on your basket if I'm honest. I'd take the MSI 7950 at the same price, it's clocked faster and has a 3 year warranty (HIS is 2 years). The Patriot RAM isn't low profile so fitting heatsinks over it could well be an issue. He wants to overclock so you need to add a cooler and no-one else has used a modular PSU either

Mattyt123 · 22 Feb 2013 at 16:48

ok I got a system all brought now
got an
i5 3570k

zalman z9 plus tower
Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX16C9T3K2/8X)
BeQuiet Pure Power L8 630W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in
Intel Liquid Cooling Solution CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011

cheers for all your help guys much appreciated

Thought you weren't looking for a water cooler?

Personally I would have spent a little extra and got the Kuhler 920 Series 4 if I was going to spend £75 ish on a CPU cooler.

You didn't mention what GPU you went for?

There was a Z77X-UD3H for £80 in B grade, which is the one he bought

He seems to like rushing :rolleyes:
