Hi there everyone, go easy on me as this is my first post and also my first time building a pc. I'm curious to know if the power supply I have picked will be enough to power my machine. I dont intend on adding dual graphics, I may overclock in the future and I will most likely add an SDD, sound card, network card and a perhaps a bluray drive.

OCZ 600Watt ModXStream Pro PSU, Modular Cabling, Active PFC

With;
- Asrock 970 Extreme4 AM3+, DDR3, 7.1 Snd, GBLan, ATX
- 500GB Western Digital Caviar Black 7200RPM SATA3 Hard Drive
- AMD Bulldozer FX-8120 3.1GHz AM3+ Black Ed Processor
- LiteOn IHAS124-19 24xDVD Writer, SATA
- 8Gb (2X4Gb) Dual Channel DDR3 1333Mhz Memory
- 1Gb AMD Radeon HD 7750 PCI-e 3.0 VGA Card

In a CoolerMaster Elite RC-430 ATX Case
If the psu is fine would you say everything will be fairly compatible?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I'm a noob :(
 
Thanks for the help people. I was looking to spend £400 but once I started I was like well I can push it to £500.

I'd like it to be able to play games in mid detail to high. Run Lightroom/photoshop well, anything else is a plus. Whats wrong with AMD?

They don't perform anywhere as near as good as intel.

(i run a Phenom 2 so no intel fanboy).

AMD will gimp your performance.
 
 
Ive managed to get everything I OP'd with keyboard/mouse for £501. I'd like a cpu with several cores, preferably 4 or more but take into account I'd like the spec I've posted and in the same price range. Isn't i3 like dual core?
