New Intel gaming build, review/advice

[valkyrie82]

Hi folks. I'm putting together an rig that will run most games well for the next couple years. Here's what I'm looking at:

Approximate Purchase Date: Within 3-4 months
Budget Range: < $1300
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.ca, ncix.ca, directcanada.com
Country: Canada
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No

Case: COOLER MASTER CM690 II ATX Mid Tower (RC-692-KKN2)
PSU: CORSAIR HX750 750W 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC (CMPSU-750HX)
Mobo: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
CPU: Intel i5-2500K with a CM Hyper 212+ cooler
GPU: MSI N560GTX-Ti 448 Twin Frozr III PE/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores (Fermi) 1280MB
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Profile 1.5V (CML8GX3M2A1600C9)
Also: Crucial M4 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal SSD
Parts salvaged from my current build: LG DVD-RW drive, 1680x1050 monitor, mouse/keyboard, a 500 GB 7200 rpm SATA II HDD.

Is a 750W PSU overkill for that GPU? Is the extra $ replacing it with a 570 worth it?

Thanks!

550-600W would be plenty for that build, looks good though.

Do it, replace PSU and get GTX 570.

Save about $50 with the Corsair 650 modular.... http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Enthusiast-Certified-Performance-CP-9020002-NA/dp/B005E98I0G

Awesome. I'll probably keep the 560 for now but I'll downgrade the psu. Thanks for the help!
