Apologies if same people have answered before (you know what it's like).

Been mulling over a build for ages now and procrastinating. This is pretty much what I want and can't think of any way to improve it. Keeping my speakers, keyboard and mouse for now as I'm happy with them.

Sourcing a monitor from elsewhere.

One thing that keeps crossing my mind is if it would be better to wait for new GPU's to arrive and either buy full system then, or just omit the 580 from purchase now and see if it reduces come Jan.

Suggestions please.

Here it is:


MSI GeForce GTX 580 OC Twin FrozR II 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail

Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive (CT128M4SSD2)

Cooler Master HAF X Gaming Tower Case - Black (RC-942)

MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

Antec TruePower New Modular 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

Asus Xonar D2X 7.1 PCI-E Sound Card

LG BH10LS38 10x BluRay-RW / 16 x DVD±RW Lightscribe Drive - Black (Retail)

Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+/AM3/LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366)



Noticed the PSU has 4 12V rails at 25A. Forgive me please if this is N00b question but is that better? Some PSU's have single rail don't they?

Not sure what to look for really just think 750W would well cover a 580.

Noticed also the "448" MSI 560ti looks like a good buy but this GPU would probably paste it I believe.

Been a bit put off by SLI and getting mixed reviews (loads of Googling and on here) about how good it is.

Don't think I'd benefit as I would be running at 1920 x 1080.

Anyway, enough of me. Over to you guys and thanks as always.

a 750w psu will do for a gtx 580 but i would recommend you get it plus gold not bronze but i would take this one ever the one you chose(it is also bronze http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-060-OC
(also i think the 1 u did is out of stock )

I'm too late to help, but the psu you linked to there is also bronze NOT gold(help to read the description not just look at the pretty pictures).

OCZ ZT 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply.

sparky if you did want to go sli in the future you would want 850w psu, for a single 580 a 650w would be enough.
