Hello everyone.

I am planning to buy my second gaming rig next month. I have already bought some of the components which are as follows:

1. PSU Corsair GS 700
2. RAM COrsair Vengeance 8GB (2 X 4GB) - it is single channel as dual channel is strangely not available in my country.
3. Hard Drive 1tb seagate
4. Chasis: Thermaltake Nvidia Edition Full tower.

the processor that i have finalized is the ivy bridge i5 3570K.
Keeping in view the psu wattage, kindly recommend a motherboard and gpu. some options for the mobo include:
gigabyte ga z77x ud3h or the ud5h
asus p8 z77 vlk. (personally i like the asus sabertooth z77 version, its rock solid but somebody said the PSU can be concern if i use the sabertooth with a graphic card like gtx 760.

i will be highly grateful for your advice.

The GS 700 should have no trouble powering the i5 3570k, Sabertooth z77, and a GTX 760.

The GS700 has a mere 58 amps on the 12v rail and that is more then plenty for the system.

I found the configuration right from your post? Unless you're talking about how I found out the power configuration will be okay? Which there are many power supply calculators and not to mention it's a 700 watt powersupply with 58 amps on the 12v rail. That's more than enough in just general to handle that.
