help finalize my build!

Hey guys, a few days ago a nice fella named AMG put together a build for me. Ive changed a few things and im about to order, just got a few questions before I do.

Will that PSU be enough? I plan on overclocking the i5 to 4Ghz and thats it, not adding a second card or anything like that but im just worried 550W wont be enough.

Secondly am I getting the best bang for my buck with those parts? I went about £30 over budget but thats fine.

Replies are appreciated, im anxious to order!

Thanks.

Personally, I'd go for the Corsair 550W PSU. I have on myself and its great, only problem is its not modular which means theres LOTS of extra cables.

so 550w is alright then? everything else look ok?

Big psu review, 500-650W range in custom pc mag.

Can I mention that magazine?

Samsung F3 500Gb is cheaper/faster

A quality 550w corsair psu will power that no problem

But if you want to crossfire, you may be looking at 600+
Also, use MX-3 paste.
