I have done a system build here, are there any improvements or changes I can make. I have been thinking is there a better mouse for that price? Should I go with a 600w or 700w psu?

Thanks,
Sir potato

parts list appears to be private. What cost and usage are you looking at?

Your list is private.
600W will do if you don't plan on using two GPUs in the future (basing off the assumption that you only have one GPU in your build list). But if you plan on adding a second one in the future, you should go with 850W+

I think I will stick to one then replace it in the future so that should be fine! parts list is public now, sorry!

Build looks good. I'm not completely certain whether or not you'll need higher than 600W if you OC your CPU. Not an expert on AMD. But looking at the current build you posted, it looks good. Only thing I would recommend is an aftermarket cooler, possibly a CM Hyper 212 EVO.

I was debating to spend that extra £20...

600W should be plenty, unless you plan to get another 7970 and o/c. My system pushed 700W with 2x7950 o/c to 1200MHz and I5-3570k o/c to 4.8GHz when benchmarking.

Good to know. And as I said I will probably just get a better graphics card instead of crossfiring :)
