My proposed spec is below.
I read somewhere (perhaps on here) that I should get a special motherboard for the SSD - can anyone comment on this.
Will 750W power be enough - some other sites wanted 850W for this spec but strangely PCS wanted me to DOWNGRADE to 650W?
Also will the triple-pipe cooler be enough if I overclock the 2500K?
Any other comments on my spec much appreciated.
