psu looks questionable. I personally also like to keep os & essential stuff on an ssd, not necessary for gaming, but makes things that bit smoother & computer is easier to live with. which website are you using for pricing & could you please post what prices you've found for the other items too.

I agree with jpoos, that power supply looks shady. I'd stick with Corsair/Antec/Seasonic/XFX. Everything apart from that looks perfect .

just checked out what that list would cost from pcspecialist; £1097. seems like they're making some tidy profits.

should i get the power supply or upgrade to 600w quiet or 650w corsair?

 

[simon12]

Get the corsair

 

[WelshTitan]

will the corsair 650w still be ok if i upgrade the processor to CPU: i5-3570 and the graphics card to 2GB AMD RADEON™ HD7870? also is the fan cooler ok or shall i upgrade it?

 

[Sunius]

Yes, it will still be okay .
