Hey guys,
I've put together a build for a complete upgrade and I'd like your opinion or any improvements.
Here's the link: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/wvzndC

For the motherboard I wasn't sure whether it is worth getting the hero over the ranger as it isn't that much more.

Also for the psu I wasn't sure whether to opt for the one on the list or either one of these two: XFX P1-650X-XXB9 or EVGA NEX650G Gold 120-PG-0650-GR

Finally for the hdd in your opinion would you get 2 x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue or a 2TB Green?

Thank you for your time and any help :)
 
Solution
Go for XFX 650W. With the EVGA, it has 4 12V rails so you have to make sure you not overloading you rails when plugging in the PCIE cables.
The XFX 650W is a single rail so you have less things to worry about.
They are equally good.
I would get 2x 1Tb WD blue drive.
Get a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, it is cheaper than the Pro series.
