Alright is there anything else i need on this build? or will this computer work fine? I want to keep this build as is. unless you can find a really cheap PSU. once put together this computer will be fine? thanks for all the help tom's hardware has given me btw!
 
I'm guessing you have that 700w psu for plan on adding a second one of those cards later on. If that's the case then you do not want that motherboard for the fact it runs dual cards @ x4 instead of the normal x8. That's a $140 board so it shouldn't be any problem finding a board in that price range that runs dual cards @ x8.


http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.975381 <---- this combo with that Asrock board

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.975387 <---- or this combo with that board

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.977993 n <----- or this combo with that board

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020 <---- and here's a psu that's 10x's better than that OCZ you have up there.

Your all set.
 

If this is a gaming build and you don't have any plans on adding a second card then your build can be improved. Drop down to a 550w psu, find a cheaper priced board and use that extra $ for a better vid card. I can see where you could easily knock off $50+ on that build. That would give you $50 towards a better card.
