Compatibility Check?

Yep, its all good. Just some general comments on the build.

Overkill power supply. Get a 600W for single GPU, 750W for dual.
Sandy Bridge and Z77 are compatible, but not optimized for each other. Get either 3570k or a Z68 board (preferably the 3570k).

corsair ram is a no no if you plan to install a heatsink. get gskill ripjaws or mushkin blackline ram instead.

also, id get a p8z77-v LK board instead since asrock from what i heard was cheaping out on power delivery caps

Already purchased the 2500k just down to personal opinion and what 750w power supply would you recommend modular if possible for £85 or lower?


the xfx xxx 750w is around 96 pounds but it is more efficent and quieter than the standard 80+bronze.

theres virtually no diference between the z68 and z77 chipsets other than the z68 is a bit older. either one works and is just as good. id go with z77 as the manufacturers tend to add more new features that the last generation didnt have
