Hello Overclockers :D,

The time has come for my third purchase of a new computer using Overclockers and I would love to hear any feedback on it before I hit 'Buy'.

Gainward GeForce GTX 580 "GOOD Edition" 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £383.99
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £235.99
Intel 510 Series "Elmcrest" 120GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive £227.99
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9) £129.98
Zalman ZM750-HP Heatpipe Cooled 750W Modular Power Supply £122.54
Gigabyte P67A-UD3 Intel P67 Chipset (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - (Sandybridge) £107.98
LiteOn iHBS112 12x BluRay-RW / 16 x DVD±RW Drive - Black (OEM) £79.99
Lian Li PC-A05NB Aluminium Mini-Tower Case - Black £72.98
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium 7.1 Sound Card - OEM (30SB088200000) £67.99

Total : £1,444.44


Just a bit of information to help put the above in context:
  • I have no desires to overclock anything. :eek:
  • The PC will be used for Gaming.
  • I don't plan on ever upgrading it - I'll buy a new PC in a few years.
Just an additional question regarding usage of the SATA ports. There are two SATA III ports on this motherboard, I'll be using one for the SSD and the other two SATA components I'll have are the Blu-Ray drive and a secondary HDD. Just curious as what you would recommend I use the second SATA III port for - the Blu-Ray drive of the second HDD? One or the other will have to go into one of the potentially faulty SATA II ports.

Thanks for any and all help!
