You could run that system with a 300w PSU. There are no improvements in performance in Sandy Bridge past 1866MHz. Why do you have 16 GB of RAM (8 is more than enough)? WD Green's are really slow drives. Add in an SSD for a boot drive and essential apps. Maybe 240GB or two 120's in RAID 0.

I agree with Sam . Theres no need for 750w unless your planning on adding a gpu . And adding an ssd makes perfect sense or perhaps two if your board has the " smart response " ? function .

 

[samuelspark]

I see you added a GPU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182131 will be more than enough to run that system.

Also, maybe two of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148837 in raid 0 instead of that single WD Green. It will outperform it significantly (if you don't want to pay the high prices of an SSD).

Sure.
Nice rig.

Why do you have a mobo with 7.1 Dolby and a 7.1 sound card? I'd say keep the 750w never know where your rig will head

Not worth the extra money. Also efficiency decreases if you get too strong of a PSU.

750w isnt that high over with the i7 and the 680 with 10 fans and i assume he will add more HDD space eventually. I currently have a 900 on my system and i have no issues except i have extra cables because mine are hard wired.

It's overkilll. Recommended watt PSU for GTX 680 is 550w. Fans won't add 200w. And you seriously overdid your PSU.
