Hey all, I'm doing my first complete build pretty soon and I've put together this setup, just wondering if anyone can check it for any rookie mistakes, make sure it's all compatible etc :) Also, you'll notice I haven't included a PSU, cos I'm looking for someone to recommend me one which can cope with all this stuff, so any suggestions are welcome :) Thanks in advance.

since your not buying from overclockers i cant give you money saving recommendations, but i can give you general parts recommendations.
(dont say where you are getting stuff from, we're not allowed to mention competitors here)

the main thing you should do is change to a sandybridge processor. if you can afford the i5 2500K and a Z68 motherboard that would be great, if not the i3 2100 or 2120 and a H67 motherboard will do.

if its a gaming PC i would try to get a much more powerful graphics card, such as the 560Ti (and go for the i3 2100 to increase your budget for the graphics)

i would also back down on the case. $150 is a huge amount for what is essentially a mid range PC. something similar to the price of the coolermaster HAF912+ or CM-690 II lite will be more than good enough (unless your considering watercooling your graphics cards in the future)
