I got a 980X and now need to finish a system!

[jrsday]

I have a 980X and need to complete the build - been a long time since I built a new rig so help would be appreciated! I already have an SSD (OCZ Vertex) and other hard drives. Will be used for games, photo/video editing, office use.

My initial thoughts below:

HIS ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £340.99


Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard £219.98

Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-850HXUK) £154.99

Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel (TR3X6G1600C9) £142.99


Corsair H50-1 High-Performance CPU Watercooler (Socket LGA775/1156/1366/AM2/AM3) £66.99

all good, change the motherboard for the cheaper UD3R- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-235-GI

Thanks - will look into the other mobo.

As far as the case I bought it ages ago but I think it's an old version of the Antec P183 Super Midi Tower Case - Gun Metal Black.
