Hi,

I am hoping to purchase the parts for a new pc soon, and was hoping to get some opinions/comments before going ahead.

I am not big on gaming - so the card is pretty low spec - I only need output to 2 monitors. I will be adding a SATA III HDD in the near future.

I have a concern about the PSU - will it be enough - I was hoping to O/C to 4mhz.

Thanks
Adrian

Your PSU is a suspicious and I would not take the risk, I upped you to a super-reliable Seasonic 650W a 7750 is a much more suitable dual monitor card. The FX8320 will overclock itself to 4GHz when under load.

Also a nice option, although unless you plan on doing some medium-end gaming, the SSD and PSU I linked does have better performance.
