Hey,
I'm a long time lurker and I've been reading up on finally building a PC.
I'm looking for some light (Oblivion, KOTOR, and some Source games) gaming and watching HD video. With that in mind, how is this build? (Be gentle) ;)
I have a keyboard and mouse :)

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
MB : Asrock H67M Intel H67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Micro-ATX Motherboard - (Sandybridge)
RAM: Corsair Value 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Low Voltage Dual-Channel Kit
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply
Gfx: MSI GeForce GTS 450 Cyclone 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Case: Antec 100 One Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

Am I over/under spec'd, I have a feeling that all but the gfx and RAM may be over what I need...

Thanks :)
 
Yeah, I've got a family pack of Windows 7 left so no need for OS :)
Overclocking would be nice, but I'm afraid money takes priority so I've switched down to the 2500 and kept the same MB.
I've looked at the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card and the reviews - on site - seem to say that the sort of games that I'll be playing work great :)
And for the PSU, is this okay? OCZ StealthXStream 2 500W Power Supply
And I've got a Blu Ray drive that I can get from a friend.

Thanks :)
