intel core i5 2500k
msi z77a-g43
corsair vengeance 2x4gb 1600mhz
seagate 1tb hdd
intel 128gb ssd
nvidia gtx 560 1gb
the cpu will be overclocked to 4 ghz later ..
 

waitaminute, i just posted another of your threads and it had an ivy bridge build. what is going on? :??:
anyway, psu recommendations -
the usual, corsair cx 500 v2

seasonic s12ii 520

anyways, your build seems to be missing a cpu cooler - for 2500k, cm hyper 212 evo would be a decent addition. the stock cooler is designed to dissipate 95w of heat. overclocking the cpu will make it dissipate more than 95w heat.
