All looks fine and dandy to me, nice spec.

I can't see anything worth changing for the money although perhaps go for the Corsair HX 520w if you want the system urgently because from another thread I believe the 620w isn't currently in stock.

 

[von Pluring]

Thanks for the input!

Would the Corsair 520 be enough for the future?

 

[semi-pro waster]

Well I probably wouldn't use dual graphics cards with it but since your motherboard doesn't support SLi it isn't really an issue. It would be fine for any single graphics card system for the forseeable future anyway.

 

[SGWills]

looks like a well balenced spec

 

[starmanwarz]

Yeah very nice spec.The 620 might be in stock,in my thread I forgot to mention that the whole story was from another store

If the corsair PSU is out, you could always get the equivalent Seasonic PSU as they are made by the same company.
