Computer Rig Advice

[WalkInMyShoes]

Hi All, some advice needed really, Or just an expert to say Yep that's fine or I could change this or that... Ive put together some components for a new desktop build. Im going to order all from scan as I should get free shipping being an av member??

I have about £1100 to spend, the remaining would be spent on a keyboard. I will be getting bigger HDD's when the prices are sensible again. I have an operating system so thats taken care of.

Thanks for your advice!

Replace the OCZ Vertex 2e with a Crucial M4 or Agility 3.

The Crucial M4 64GB is £74.99 delivered at eBuyer.com (use voucher code CRUCIAL64 at the checkout).

Yeah looks good. +1 for the Crucial M4, cracking drive and great reliability.

If your ever planning on getting another GTX560Ti for SLI then you'd need a slightly better PSU. The Corsair builder series are good but not great, my CX430W has a lot of capacitor noise and the fan isn't the quietest.

I'd go for the Antec True Power New 650W Modular Power Supply, has four 6 pin PCI-E connectors, more power efficient and it's modular.

Thanks for the tip, I was planning on going SLI at some point down the road.

A couple of options if you want a bit more headroom but a bit more expensive.

OCZ ZT 750W Power Supply. This is FULLY modular, and gets good reviews. Here.

Antec TP-750 Blue TruePower New 750W Modular Power Supply

A cheaper, non-modular option. Another very good PSU.

OCZ ZS Series 750W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (PSU)

All come with four 6 PCI-E connectors.
