Hi guys, i'm building a pc.

Parts are:
i5-2500k
750w PSU (i'll give the make and model in the morning.)
MSI Z77A-G45
noctua nh-d14
ati radeon 7950
8gb ram
some 250gb ssd
1tb hdd

Do you think that PSU can handle this and have some spare wats to let it not work in full load at all time?
 
Change te board to Gigabyte, the psu would still be an overkill :p
650w would do just fine with plenty of power left.
 
Well, give me an example of one please. I don't need a lot of satas, PCIEs, etc. All i need is two sata III, PCIE 3.0 and front audio header. Oh, and a good ability for OC. IF you can find something in very similar price range do so please.

nah, get 3570K it is better 4.6 ivy is like 5.0 sandy... it is newer 22nm technology instead of 32nm and consumes less power, better IGP aswell use it with virtu Z77 mobo to boost your performance in games.. Overall ivy is better than sandy.

its just that a lot of people pushed sandy to 5.0ghz including myself with my 2700k and barely anyone managed to get ivy to 5.0 since it gets soo hot.. But a lot forget that 4.6 ivy is similair to 5.0 sandy.

Instead of noctua look into Phantecs I think that beats noctua in heat tests... You can go for H100i saves a lot of space in the case, and if you bolt on 4 fans on it.. it will cool brilliantly.

Especially since you are getting top end coolers temperatures shouldnt bother you at all....

Guys, i've got 2 questions, what does "B grade mean" and do we have to keep ourselves only in overclockers.co.uk shop? will we get banned for giving better deals on other's shop's webpages?

And how 'bout motherboard? Do you think it's fine?

800, i've got PSU and case already
My PSU is hybric antec 750w bronze and case is Coolermaster Storm Trooper. I've got it already and can't change it.

That SSD is for system and some games (BF3, etc). I also want to record some videos for yotube everyday(HDD use).

From what i know playing games on SSDs give them FPS boost as they load textures and whole areas much faster.

I would prefere not to use MSI for GPU because from the expierience of many of my friends... They are faulty.

My budget is 800, and i can't go over 810... I just can't.

I wouldnt go for that 2TB Seagate hard drive.

It chirps constantly, even with the upgraded firmware and hdparm disabled.
