GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570 OC WINDFORCE 3X 1280MB GDDR5
RAM: 2 sets of Kingston hyperx 8GB 1600mhz = 16GB alltogether

some crapy dvd/cd/rw disk drive 52x

2kw

but seriously if you don't plan on sli in future(don't know if your chosen mb supports it) then a good 650w psu will be enough.

what do you currently have?

if you don't have any of the stuff you've listed then would suggest going intel not amd. whats the budget?

atm i have some atx? 550w

and i have the 16gb ram ready, i have the motherboard (could upgrade cos i know its not up to spec wit that stuff) , harddrive , gaming network card, diskdrive.

to go intel all i would have to change out of that lot is the motherboard? or ?

What brand of 550W?
Motherboard and cpu will have to be changed.

 

[Ev0lu7i0n]

cant get a screwdiver atm, its a bit late but all i can see from outside the case is atx 550

 

[Justintime]

Dosen't say much, many crappy generic ones claim x amount of watts but can only deliver less than half or worse.. need to know if its a reputable brand.

 

[Ev0lu7i0n]

its prob **** then, but thats why im wanting to buy a new one for the gear above.

so you think ill be fine with a Antec High Current Gamer 750W/ could i go as low as the Antec High Current Gamer 620W??

cheers

 

[Justintime]

Off the top of my head i'd say the 620 should be more than ample.
