Hi all!

Here are links for the components i'm planning on using for my first custom build. Would like an experts opinion on the set up, does it make sense and will the rig work when put together.
Also i'm wondering will the PSU I've chosen support 2nd graphics card(want to run them with CrossFireX), SSD and a CPU/memory upgrade in the future?

Instead of Crossfiring two crap cards just get a 760, it will be faster and not have the issues Crossfire has. Also that motherboard is unnecessary for that CPU, you should be able to get a 8320 for the same price if you get a cheaper motherboard, assuming you really want to go down the AMD route.

Thanks for the replay. Roger on the graphics card, instead of adding another one, going to upgrade instead. I went for the mobo in question in an attempt to make it a bit future-proof. Wasn't too sure about going for a FX8xxx CPU due to overheating problems i've heard about, that's why only picked the FX6300 (till AMD has something better/more reliable to offer)

If your looking to add another gpu down the road when you need the power, i suggest getting a nvidia card because their dual card, tri or quad card system is much better then amd crossfire x.

Just been advised to go for a small profile ram, since I'm going to need an aftermarket CPU cooler. :(
What's the best £70-80 graphics card out there the now? Just till i'm able to get a better/more expensive one.

Ok, thanks for the info. Silly me thought that NVidia cards work better with Intel based CPU's, that's why opted for AMD GPU, to avoid any compatibility issues... lol

That's the cooler I was recommended. And if your saying that 7750 will be just fine for now, that's what i'll get then. Thanks !

Hyper 212 plus is a good cheap cooler that you can get a mild overclock on if you wish to. If you do, watch you temperatures and make sure they don't get too hot. I like to keep my temps at 75-80c under load, but its all just what you comfortable with

I also have the hyper 212. :) It's a very good cooler! Keeps my temps under 60 only. :D Get the tactical sport low profile mems, if you think the rams are not that high, you can slide the fans up of the hyper 212 just to make clearance for everything.
