I would change the PSU, and add a better cooler ?

Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 High Performance '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXV2UK)
£62.99

Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+/AM3/LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366)
£22.98

Im using the stock cooler because I dont plan on OC'ing.
And isn't a modular PSU better for cable management?

Yes but the price reflects it too when it comes to branded psu's.

It's criminal to have an i5 2500k and not o/c it. Infact you should be put away for it cleaning old 386's with a toothbrush for at least 5 years

Seriously though the stock cooler is very very poor even if your not overclocking. The gelid is an excellent cooler (price wise) and will take away a lot of the heat from your cpu which cant be bad.

Ill look at different PSU's but I cant overclock so that why im stick with the stock cooler atm.

how come you can't overclock? you seem to have everything you need and there's plenty of guides on the net or the guys on here will help

I guess I just fear buggering up the CPU but I will have to look at some guides. - Any recommendations?

Hopefully in the future.

Mr.Mccoy · 7 Sep 2011 at 20:26

Well if i ever get round to OC'ing ill ask on this forum for advice.
and as for the SLI that would probably be around october or december next year.
