Hi

I was hoping someone could look over the following build for me, and suggest a power supply.

At the moment I do not plan on overclocking (hence the lack of aftermarket CPU cooling), but I've gone for options that will leave overclocking open to me in the future.

Also, any other general input/opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here is the build at the moment.

My apologies to all the coders out there but everytime I see software with a $ sign next to it I cringe a little bit. LLTPB ;) Nice build though. It looks like you did your research and picked all the best parts for that price. Anyone who is going to build a rig and who plans to upgrade sometime in the future just go ahead and grab a solid 750w PSU right now since you don't want to have to lose money when you swap it. Coming from someone who built his first PC in November and has upgraded every piece of hardware since then to build a completely unique second rig I say buy once and you will be happier. Happy gaming!

You're quite right, I realised that just after I'd posted ;)

Thanks MagusALL, I've spent the last 2 days researching and choosing, hopefully it'll all pay off.
