Hi all,
my old Z68 mobo has given up after 4 years of service with my 2500k. As it's quite hard to find a new mobo for the chipset I thought I'd just get some new shiny gadgets! :D

Any glaring issues with this build?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

(includes shipping: £23.10)


Am planning to re-use my old Corsair H100 cooler and my Sonar Essence STX soundcard.
I was wondering if my 4 year old Corsair Professional gold 750W PSU is still useable but added a new PSU just in case.

Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated :)
 
No obvious problems apart from the psu. There are no reviews for these ones yet but their previous models weren't particularly good. The oem is HEC who, at best, only make mediocre psu's. Stick with your Corsair. Four years isn't particularly old and it's a much better unit anyway.

You could save a bit of money by going for this cpu/motherboard bundle:-

Our very own Stulid did a review and guid to achieve 4.6Ghz on that board here.
 
Thanks pastymuncher for the link, will change the mobo over to the bundle as it has all the features I need with no silly gamer gimmicks! :D
Will just stick with my PSU, saves a bit of money I can put towards something else :).
