Hi guys just need the compatibility rating before i take the plunge. First question is i5 3570 with 7850 or i3 3320 with 7950?
Secondly, thanks to the community ive come up with the following spec that id like a final look over please:
I5 3570k
Gigabyte 2bg 7850
Gigabyte z77n itx mobo
Bitfenix prod
Corsair builder series 500w modular psu (does it need 500w)
B grade 1tb seagate bara 7200rpm 6gbs 32mb cache
Black mamba 8bg
Asus dvd/rw
Just wondering if this is good to go and will take antec 620 later down the line for oc and finally my ultimate concern is cable management in the prodigy, ive seen some right horrors concerning cables all over the place in the prodigy. Just a case of messy people or is this a genuine issue with the case? Alternatives?
Basket comes to just under £680, 80 over budget but this cheeky number has to last me a while.
Cheers guys.

Hi guys thanks for the fast replies. Yeah bf3 is high on the list as always :D as for the case...well its more for the missus. Its going to be in the living room so i wanted something small enough to hide behind the tv. To be honest id probably at a push go for a matx as i really am a stickler for cable management. Potential respec?
Thanks again guys.

Thanks for the reply guys, especially the video, makes the prodigy a simple choice. Also i take it the i5 with 7850 is the way to go rather than the i3 with 7959? Could i get away with a less wattage psu? Got to look after the old electricity bill :p
Cheers guy
