Hi,

I am thinking on building a pc and was wondering whether anyone has any better ideas for it. Heres my current design;


ASRock Z77 Extreme 6, Intel Z77, S 1155, DDR3, SATA III - 6Gb/s, PCIe 3.0 (x16), D-Sub/DP/DVI-D/HDMI, ATX £150.92
XFX P1-1000-BLUK Pro Series Black Edition 1000W Modular Power Supply (PSU) £203.88
Intel Core i5 3570K,1155, Ivy Bridge, Quad Core, 3.4GHz, 5 GT/s DMI, 650MHz GPU, 6MB Smart Cache, 34x Ratio, 77W, Retail £173.94
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black, PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC, CAS 9-9-9-24, XMP, 1.50V £40.56
256GB Crucial RealSSD M4, 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD, MLC-Flash, 500Mb/s, Write 260Mb/s *New Version* £167.10
ASUS GTX 560TI DIRECTCU II TOP NVIDIA Graphics Card - 2GB £171.01
4x Blu-ray Reader, 8x DVD Reader from LiteOn IHOS104-06 £44.62
Coolermaster Storm Trooper SGC-5000-KKN1 Gaming Case £104.99
Total: £1,057.02

I want to keep it below £1,060 and I was thinking whether my PSU is too expensive.

I want to know whether it would be possible to downgrade something without making bottlenecks to allow me to buy this- 536MB PNY GTX 580 XLR8 Liquid Cooled, 40nm, 4212MHz GDDR5, GPU 857MHz, Shader 1714MHz, 512 Cores.

This is £300.


Also I would like some help with FRAPS. When I record on minecraft certain colours turn blue. For example red apples turn blue and trees have a blue tint to them. I have tried using force lossless RGB capture but that didn't work.

What should I do to fix this?

Thanks.
 
1000W is overkill. Cut it down to a good 650w unit and you can put that money into a 670 rather than a 560ti, or just save yourself the cash. 650w can run ref 670 SLI too.
