Final check before I order

[naisdes]

Hey all, I'm going to be placing my order tomorrow morning as I've got next week off work so I hope to receive my parts on Monday or Tuesday morning. Does anyone see any issues with the following build, and if there's anything they recommend instead? My budget is £500 for a CPU, mobo, RAM, SSD and GPU. I'm not going to be overclocking at all as I just want to build it and use it as it is.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £169.99
1 x MSI HD 7850 OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards with Tomb Raider & Bioshock PC Games £149.99
1 x Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive (CT128M4SSD2) £94.99
1 x Gigabyte H61MA-D3V Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £47.99
1 x Avexir MPower Yellow Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U16000904G-2CM) £37.99
1 x Akasa SSD & HDD adapter 2.5" - AK-HDA-03 £4.99
Total : £505.94 (includes shipping : FREE).



The one thing I'm not 100% sure about is the description for the i5 says 'Intel's new IvyBridge based CPU's is a refresh that requires socket LGA1155 mainboards based on Intel Z77 Chipset.', while the Gigabyte H61-based mobo's website says the 3570 is indeed supported?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the efforts but I do not see myself overclocking at all, and I have never done in the past 10 years with the few previous systems I have bought. Please just respect my decision even though we are on Overclockers UK

Sorry, no offence intended. But I stated clearly no overclocking will be done and then I had to go and explain why. Please don't feel like I was aiming anything towards you and dismissed your advice in particular. Never done SLI or Crossfire and never used an aftermarket cooler before other than the one time it was too hot one summer lol.

Games I'm not bothered about because I wouldn't play them.

Thanks for the specs guys. Each mobo, SSD and GPU seemed specced and priced very similarly which means I just have to pick the brands now! Gonna order tonight.

Yes, I'm playing just TERA atm which is a free game.
