Looks good, but I would change the Cooler & SSD for the following:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Plextor M5 Pro 128GB Extreme Series Solid State Drive - (PX-128M5P) £99.95
1 x Cooler Master Hyper 612S CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £32.99
Total : £142.84 (includes shipping : £8.25).

You could change the mobo to this, just as good and cheaper:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £112.99
Total : £122.89 (includes shipping : £8.25).

You could also swap the PSU for a 550/650.

Change the SSD to this:

Get a modular PSU, don't worry 650w is more than enough

Plextor is cheaper & quicker than the Samsung. Write speeds are rubbish!

Reptile Guy · 27 Jan 2013 at 21:16

would a 650w psu be OK if I added a second 7950 in the future.

Idleman · 27 Jan 2013 at 21:27

Have included ram. Left the TX750 in as it is an excellent Psu. Do you have a case and OS, as I noticed you have not included them in your build.

Cheaper? Take another look mate

And yeah well Samsung are still recommended the most

£10 isn't much to be fair though so Plextor won't be a bad choice either

I have a case the cooler master 690 II advanced and OS, I forgot to add ram
