Ok so far I have been looking at the deals on OCuk I have built my own computer before but fallen a bit behind with it as the last build I did was a nice one and I did not need to upgrade for a while unfortunately the parts are wearing out now ;p

Playing games is my main use of my PC.

So I have been looking at these items so far some are there just because they are on offer no other real reason than that which is why I need help.

Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail

Asus GeForce GTX 460 1024MB DirectCU TOP GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Corsair Vengeance 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel Kit (CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9)

Asus P6X58D-E Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard

Corsair TX 750W ATX SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-750TXUK)

Coolermaster HAF 912 Plus Case - Black

The PSU I have chosen is possibly overkill but am looking towards possible far future upgrades rather than the near future. I already have my HDD sorted.

Any tips on how to improve this would be appreciated as im also kinda thinking the ram is overkill aswell.

Thanks!
 
I would be wasting memory but that 12gb ram is on a daily deal and is only £20 difference between that and the 6gb version.

the 6gb ones i found are below if you can find any ram for a better price would be great.

Corsair Dominator 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 1600MHz Triple Channel Kit (CMP6GX3M3A1600C7)

which smaller psu would you recommend?

any recommendations on changes to the build are appreciated
 
iv been looking in to this sandy bridge a bit will this be better than the i7 i have already picked or will this just be a slightly better i5?

thanks
