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?
 
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.
 
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?
 
Oh, that's not very nice, well... Stil... What about motherboard? Do you think that this one is fine or i could chose something better?
 
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.

Well... I've had problems with overclockers some time ago when buying parts... One of competitors is giving you insurance from destroying any parts when building pc for one month for 1 pound per part. I'm not that good at building stuff so it's quite good for me. B.t.w, is a ban comming for me? :D
 
Aren't that HDDs from green serie slow to keep them quiet?


How about 1TB Western Digital WD1002FAEX? 75 pounds

Not true, PSUs are at their most efficient at around 50% loading.



They have slower RPM speeds yes, but ultimately you should really only use a mechicial drive as storage these days and an SSD as a boot drive so it shouldn't matter.

Change that XMS3 stuff for Vengeance LP as you don't want 1.65v for Ivy/Sandy. I'd recommend the Thermalright SB-E Extreme which is £50 at the place you are purchasing from. Makes it a bargain!

Also pay the extra (imho) for a Intel Retail CPU, you get an extra 2 years warranty and they tend to resell better.

I'll change the ram as you say.


By the way... I can see that i'm not the only one here that is not completly loyal to the overclockers xD.

Guys... You made a mess in my head... Which cooler should i chose then?

Nocuta nh d14, Phanteks PH-TC14PE or Thermalright SB-E Extrem,

I'm aiming at 4,8ghz if this motherboard and CPU let me do so.

Guys, you cant discuss a competitors pricing as it is easily searcheable and is bad for OcUK business.

Id recommend you discuss components and keep the exact prices out of it.




ON TOPIC:

750W is WAY overkill for that system mate

Well, i was scared of that's not enough :D.

Most high end coolers perform pretty similarly really, it is more down to the way they look (if your case has a window), the price and the fans. I went with the SB-E due to the price and looks, then sold and changed the fans as I didn't like the colour.

I'll not have window, as i don't mind looking inside but i like to keep it all in one color... red and black fits well.
