Hi im going to build a pc here in the next month and i was wondering what ram and power supply i should get?

Motherboard: ASUS P8P67-M PRO (REV 3.0)

Case: Cooler Master HAF ATX Mid Tower Case

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K

CPU Cooler: Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System

Graphics Card: GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA Series GV-R685OC-1GD Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16

This time is the worst time to build a pc.

New Ivy-Bridge processors are coming out soon and also the new kepler video cards from nvidia.

I would wait a few months until the new ivy-bridge processors are out and the new kepler series from nvidia are out.

Don't listen to the guy above^^

Ditch the micro atx board and get an asrock z68 extreme 3 gen 3, also get rid of the 620 and get your self a cooler master hyper 212+. Then with your saved money put that towards a radeon 6870. A quality 500w power supply will run it. I suggest the seasonic s12II 520w, as for ram a corsair 8gb (2 sticks) kit will do.

Why buy a 2500k now ? when a new ivy-bridge i5 will be coming out in a month or 2 ?

Why buy a 6870 ?
when the new 7000 series is out & also the new kepler cards are coming from nvidia ?

Thanks amuffin and matt2155 i would wait but the new processors coming out would prolly cost more than most of this stuff together

Do you think if i got a 620w power supply that it would be a overkill

Their is always new stuff coming out don't get fooled! Get the 2500K now and upgrade down the line your board will be compatible! The 2500K is a great CPU!
