Hey,

Doing a little upgrade and wondering if anyone can check that all these will get on.

CPU -Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - Retail + Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising Game

MOBO - MSI P55-GD65 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard

RAM - Patriot Sector 5 Viper II 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-10666 1333MHz Dual Channel

All with a 480W PSU ... going to be getting PSU/GPU/Case in a couple of month. Any tips on something better or words of advices..
Cheers

You might want to reconsider using that psu if you are going to go for a decent overclock and a power hungry gpu setup. What make is the psu?

It's a Tagen 480W I'm not planning on overclocking just yet and just a single 8800GT. I'm going to be getting a Corsair 650W and ATI 5870 next month or so

.

I think a Tagen 480W would cut it for now without any overclocking, no?

I myself had planned a HTPC with a 95w cpu, 4gb of ram, two HD's and a graphics card (4870) and was told elsewhere the Corsair 450w modular would be more than enough?

that psu is fine for that processor at the moment.

Your list seems fine
