You have a pretty good spec there just a couple of things you don't need so save yourself a few quid by droping the k series CPU (this is just unlocked for overclocking) to the normal i7 2600 and the CPU cooler to either the titan fenrir or the super quiet tripple copper both of these are all you would need plus there in no possibility of water leaks, if you are not getting a multiple screen setup then you can also drop the 3GB GTX580 to the 1.5GB version and lastly a 650W PSU is plenty for that system even with some breathing room for Extra HDD's if needed later but if you want the option of sli'ing at a later date then put a 1050W Corsair in.

What ever Fear says ^

So consider his advice but keep the mod 750 psu, id recommend it any day over a standard psu. helps clear clutter inside the case and will allow better room and airflow in the case

Specs should be fine to play todays and future games fine, even after the suggested changes by Fear

a pc just over half that price will run anything, and for a few years.


that will last a lot of years
