Click the link beneath my sig.

Your spec is looking ok, you can drop the PSU to 550w.

 

[Naxxy428]

well i'd like to upgrade in the future so i may as well keep it ?

 

[Trojan Horse]

upgrade to what? depending on what you think you want to upgrade onto you might want to up it or just keep it as is

 

[mightymouse]

just use rubbing alcohol instead of the articlean stuff and you may need to get some cpu paste but the rest looks solid. good luck

 

[RJC]

You can do, but for majority of single GPU setups 550w is ample.

 

[Naxxy428]

The CPU comes with paste as a deal =) would i save much money getting the 550w?
if so what could i use that spare money on

 

[RJC]

Put it towards a SSD
