Im looking for new PSU and RAM components. I have been advised on another thread that my PSU model is known for some problems and the pcpartpicker has warned me about my RAM choice. If you could give me some recommendations it would be appreciated.

Pcpartpicker warning:
Kingston HyperX Grey 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Ivy Bridge CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

A choice for RAM: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cml8gx3m2a1600c9

Requirements:
RAM £60 max price
PSU Preffered Modular/Semi Modular about £100 max price and most importantly reliable.

Current Parts: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2KeKq

Thanks for your feedback.

Read the review, it is not the best one but it is not the one like you said. http://www.eteknix.com/corsair-cx500m-semi-modular-power-supply/


The CX500M is not a great brand for a PSU at all.

Thanks; I guess it works though anyways haha. I heard from somebody here that they were known for failure though.
