Would this work?

[Bwaaa]

So I was just having a mess around and came up with this

For some reason, it feels like it shouldn't work but I can't see why it wouldnt. Anandtech puts the 580's draw at around 500W under Furmark so the PSU should be more than adequate.

As a PURE gaming build, would anything bottleneck the GPU here?

 

[panyan]

well it WOULD work, but your putting one of the best gpu's with a pretty mediocre cpu - better to balance things out i think

It will work, but if you can get a i5 2300/2400 and a H67 motherboard in there, then better.

 

[Cookeh]

Nope.

Could get a faster system for less though

 

[Cookeh]

I lied, some things I thought were on TWO weren't pushing the price up a bit

I'd just get a 570, to save money and get a better CPU, and not have to worry about the PSU (576W@12V).
