Alright, it's been almost 10 years since I've built a pc so I've been doing research the past few months and with the Ivy Bridge processors and new gpus out I've decided now is a good time to bite the bullet. This is what I've put together, basically I want a rig capable of playing SWTOR at maxed settings at 1920x1080 with consistent ~60fps(who doesn't?). I will also be playing Diablo 3 but from what I hear that's a pushover hardware wise. I'm pretty solid on most of the parts I've picked except for the power supply and case which I'd like recommendations on. If you know of cheaper prices on components don't hesitate to say. Thanks

throw some recommendations at me if you've got them, mid tower would be best(for space and "portability"), also consider there will only be two hd's, two gpu cards(eventually), and 1 optical drive at most in it.

Everything looks good! But for the power supply, I would go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021 (Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750). It's just that they really have good reviews for their power supplies and it's one of the most reliable brands for PSUs in the market.

PSU = ???

SetZ's offer looks good. Also: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703027 with 15% off.

What are your thoughts on these? I'm looking for something modular and of course future proof for the eventual second 670.

Could save a little more but still get equal performance.
OCZ ZT 750 $110 ($20 MIR)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341052
Great PSU, though many people think otherwise of OCZ, they're solid with the new ZS and ZT series releasing.

Also a solid PSU is the Rosewill Hive series, right now dirt cheap.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182133
Great performance out of this series, and solid reviews
Only $76.50 right now. Probably best bet.

$70 after MIR for a Seasonic 750W.

 

[aznshinobi]

XFX, but same difference. Keep in mind however, that XFX is non-modular. Also MIRs tend to take awhile it varies for each company.

Didn't look at it but you should stick with the Hive you already have. HOWEVER, I would drop down to 8GB of ram, it's all you'll need. Most never take advantage of 8GB in fact, gaming still only requires 4GB since most use the Graphics card's VRAM.

 

[cbsevenfifty]

Its a Seasonic PSU with XFX stickers. Even if it takes awhile for the rebate its still cheaper up front than every other PSU that has been recommended.

The only one I would even think about getting over that XFX is the PC Power & Cooling one if I wanted that extra silver rating.

 

[aznshinobi]

Actually, the HIVE is only $5 more, it's modular performs just as well and yeah.
