Will add SSD and mby fan controllers some day.

From the looks of it I'd say that rig should run well and you shouldn't have any problems.

+1, that rig will run well although I'd prefer a SeaSonic 620W PSU compared to a CX600W.

sora :

Thx...on a second thought,since I'm gonna add SSD later might aswell go for 650W PSU to be on a safe side...ya never know when ya wanna add more toys

there are some cheap ones like Fractal Design and Enermax.Which makes one suspicious about the quality and heat production,they are gold/bronze certified but still.

Mass72 :

If it's Fractal Design and 80+ Gold Certified, you can trust it. I recommend the Fractal Design Tesla R2 650w 80+ Gold.

If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious as to why you opted for an 1155 socket rather than the mainstream 1150.

Seeking Solace :

Well the CPU requires 1155 and I'm guessing he doesn't have the money to buy an i5-3570K or better.

Rami Zerker Reini :

Zerker is right ... besides I already got i5-3350P for a 90£ now,which is cheap.
And as for PSU was thinkin about
Fractal Design FD-PSU-IN2B-650W Integra R2 80+Bronze certified .

That's a good PSU and it looks gorgeous.
