Hey OCUK Users,
I am in need of some help/advice about my buy list for my new PC. It's a Mid-range/High-spec set-up which I am looking to spend no more than £650 on. I have a set-up already made up but I need to make sure that everything is compatible and that it will actually work well.
Bearing in mind I already have a two 500GB hard-drive's to go in and Windows 7 HE, here is the rest of the set-up:
My major concerns are:
Thanks in advance for any advice given. Like I say, complete newcomer to building PC's but I have good knowledge of PC components from fitting new GPU's and other misc PCI-e cards.
Cheers!

Bearing in mind I already have a two 500GB hard-drive's to go in and Windows 7 HE, here is the rest of the set-up:
- Avenge Power Black Tornado ATX Case
- Asus M4N72-E Motherboard
- 2x XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 (CrossFire)
- 4 GB PC8500 / DDR2 1066 240 Pin Memory
- Corsair TX 850W ATX SLI Compliant Power Supply
- AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz (Socket AM3)
- Zalman CNPS8700-LED CPU Cooler
My major concerns are:
- Motherboard/CPU compatibility.
- The power supply is sufficient.
- Good CPU cooler, and advice on any better.
- If the XFX HD 5770 is worth getting compared to other brands.
- I know I need thermal grease for the CPU/Cooler. What other leads/accessories will I need?.
Thanks in advance for any advice given. Like I say, complete newcomer to building PC's but I have good knowledge of PC components from fitting new GPU's and other misc PCI-e cards.
