Hey guys I'm wondering if a Corsair TX750 v2 is the right choice for my build. I want to upgrade from the GTX 260 if I can find a super deal on a 660 Ti. Possibly want to OC to 4.0-4.1 on the CPU, depending on how the CPU temps hold up. But this was a quick build I put together from the black friday sales. Let me know what you guys think, haven't put a rig together for years so I'm quite out of the curve.

CPU: i5 3570k 169.99
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Plus 24.99
MOBO: AsRock Extreme4 94.99
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB 2x8 59.99
SSD: Vertex 4 128GB 74.99
Case: HAF 912 59.99
Video Card: EVGA GTX 260 1GB (free used card)
PSU: up for debate TX750 84.99

Total: 617.66

A little over my planned budget but I think I managed well.

That's WAY more than enough. That power supply could handle the i5 and TWO 670s in SLI.

Go for a quality 550w unless you think you're going to get a second 660ti at some point. Also, on a 212 +, you should be able to hit 4.4 without bad temps or voltage, unless you got real unlucky with your chip.

That... actually looks quite good. Provided you get a new video card. What RAM will you be using?

Thanks for the reply. I totally forgot to put the ram in there the first time I posted it up. I've edited it.

A new video card might be on it's way. I got the card from a friend that upgraded to a 550 Ti, I'm coming from a 9000 series haha. Depending on what deal I can get on Cyber Monday. I'll look for a good 550-650w as you're recommending as well.
