Read to Buy New System and was wanting final thoughts..?

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hey Iv pretty much finalized everything for my new system build and was just wanting opinions on the design before i go ahead and buy everything please!
The Main use of the system will primarily be video Editing/Rendering HD files in CS5's Premiere and After-effects and some other editing programs, Minor gaming and general surfing.

CPU: Intel i7-3770k Ivy Bridge(April 29th :) )

MoBo: Asus P8Z68-V-Pro/Gen3

GPU: Gainward GeForce GTX 580 "Phantom" 3072MB
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-144-GW

RAM: Corsair 8GB, DDR3 1600MHZ Dual Channel
http://www.dabs.com/products/corsair-memory-8gb--2-x-4gb--vengeance-ddr3-1600mhz-dimm-240-pin-cl9-red-7J69.html?q=CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R&src=16

SSD: Corsair 120GB SATA 6Gb/s for System and Programs

HDD: I Already have a 500GB Seagate 7200rpm for other files and what not

PSU: CoolerMaster GX 650W 80+ Bronze (Not too sure on PSU's will this one be alright??)
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-psu-coolermaster-gx-rs650-acaae3-uk-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx-v

Iv got two 21.5" Monitors that give a resolution of 1920x1080 so go there.

I still havent picked a case any suggestions would be great but hopefully not to expensive im very close to budget looking for ~£70

Dont need an OS, Mouse or Keyboard

Any advice/recommendations would be great! If there is anything iv missed please let me know!!
Thanks very much Graeme :)

What website are you ordering from? That will help us narrow down potential choices.


I usually use Dabs.com, Scan.co.uk and Aria.co.uk. Thats where i got prices for the majority of my build.
