if its going into a small / midi desktop then moudlar helps keep it tidy of cables.

pc power and cooling is good modular psu, its better than the ocz one.

z9 isnt a full tower so modular would defiantly be nice.

yes 500 will more than enough to run that spec.

also the upgrade from that mboard is on sale atm for 99 quid, if you ever wanted to go crossfire it would be worth forking out the extra 20 now as that d3h only supports xfire at 16x/4x

just a thought

thats fair enough just thought i'd throw it out there

Enjoy your new build

p.s your next upgrade should be a small cpu heatsink to give that cpu a nice little overclock
