• Your HX620W PSU will still be great for a single card, if you want to add another, then look at getting a 750W PSU.

• If this PC is for gaming (looks that way) then 8GB is plenty.
 
Thanks for the quick reply Stulid, I'll swap out the items with your suggestions.

Any reason why for the Samsung over the Crucial for the SSD or is it purely because it's cheaper.

Also thanks for the advice on the PSU, I doubt I'll go for more than 1 GPU so I guess I'll be fine.
 
Awesome, oh I best check if it will fit in an Antec P182 with the length of the graphics card too.
 
Fantastico! I'll get the measuring stick out tonight!

Thanks for the fast help, much love!

Edit: Should fit fine, it don't have the removable bay in the case anyway. Plenty of room!

I'll be doing that for sure, I just wanted to get the basic kit down first.

Anything you'd recommend that it's too tall for the P182 (210mm apparently)?
 
Hmm according to Antec support forums max hight for CPU cooler is 160mm that will fit in the case. That only leaves the Alpenföhn from that lot.
