I have chosen bigger power suply for later on adding one more GPU in case and Im not thinking about the SSD yet. Probably later on.

TBH that spec is spot on. I wouldnt change a thing.

If it were my build i would have on hell of a time deciding between the GTX 580 and a 7950. The 580 is a bargain no doubt but i think i am too much of a sucker for the new tech so i would have a 7950.

I presume it's mainly a general use + gaming pc? If so then your spot on, can't say i can see anything to advise changing. If you do any video editing or CPU intensive stuff i would consider an i7 2600 but even then an i5 will cope with pretty much anything.

Hey there!

Thanks for the reply. I will stick to the gtx580 tho, throughout my life so far been using nvidia so this time wont be a difference and yea its for pure gaming and everyday basis stuff ofc.

why do you need a 1050 watt psu? 850 should be enough even if you sli the gtx's to the best of my knowledge you shouldn't need that much.

 

[St3rling]

Hmm, as far as i remember a few ppl told me here before (months ago it was) that just a future proof stuff a big psu and for the sli, but if so then i change it no probs
