Hello, first time builder here and I have a few questions regarding my build.
Parts:
- Intel 2500K
- ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN 3
- Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM
- Corsair 500r
- I'll be building it without the graphics card then installing it once the kepler cards are out, wanting something between a 560 Ti and a 570
- The HDD i'll buy when I find a cheap one (Prices are too high!)

1. I'm looking to buy a Corsair PSU 650w modular and have seen two but don't know the difference between the two, the first one is the TX650M and the other is a HX650, is one semi-modular? The HX costs more.

2. Would it be ok if I build and use it for a few months without a cooler? I don't intend on OC'ing the processer until I get a H100.

3. I'm looking for a new keyboard but not sure if I want mechanical or not as they are quite expensive (and I don't know what switch types I want) and the Razer Blackwidow uses MX Blues which are too loud for my living room (where my CPU will be). I was looking at the Logitech G110 but when typing on it the keys feel really small and close together (i'm coming from a small Apple Keyboard and I kept hitting every wrong key and reaching for the macro keys) budget would be £70.

4. Any other tips/advice you could offer me?

Thanks in advance for any help!

lookin at the descriptions the tx dosent look modular whare as the hx is, iv never understood corsairs names other than the one ive got which is the gamer series which has a ton of pcie and power cables.

no u defenetly need a cooler, even the stock one if u are getting the retail 2500k
 
Sorry meant to say the cooler would be the stock one, I meant if I would need an after-market one.

And that is the confusing thing about the PSU, the website says its modular but the pictures looks like it only has 4 connections on it.
 
even the corsair website isnt clear, the manin banner has an advert for the tx showing it is semi modular but when u go into the pages it doesnt say, unless the 650 isnt modular.

edit: aye it seems the tx modular dosnt start till 750 watts
