ASRock Z77 Extreme4 M Intel Z77
GeIL Black Dragon 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
2 x 120GB SSD
2 x 500GB HDD
2 x 1TB HDD

What is your current PSU? A half decent 500W will be plenty

I think it's this one (from examining my OcUK order history)

It won't work with the GTX970 anyway - no power connector.

Thanks!
