My First PC build

[keresturec]

Hey thanks for taking your time to look at another of these threads but I would really like some opinions before I buy parts next week. I am looking for a mid to high end spec and have around $1500 to spend so lets get to it:

Video Card : PCI-E : NVIDIA : GTX660Ti SC : 2GB : 02G-P4-3662-KR : EVGA 148112 CAD $343.32
PSU : 650W : Naxn 82+ : ENP650AWT : Enermax 245716 CAD $85.72
SW : OS : Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM (CD and License) 18019 CAD $106.29
Motherboard : 1155 : ATX : P8Z77-V LK : ASUS 13946 CAD $168.13
RAM : Desktop DDR3 : 8GB/Kit : PC12800 : HyperX KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX : Kingston 12415 CAD $52.55
HD : Desktop : 1TB : SATA : WD10EZEX Blue : WD 153508 CAD $94.18
HD : SSD : 128GB : SATA3 : M4 : CT128M4SSD2 : Crucial 25078 CAD $139.71
CPU : 1155 : i5 : 3570K : Intel 11467 CAD $261.33
Cooling : CPU : A70 : CAFA70 : Corsair 20387 CAD $57.09
Case : ATX : No PSU : HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 : Cooler Master 16500 CAD $67.13

Total is $1,375.45

This is the only local shop I have in my city Saskatoon SK Canada so I was not too fond of the prices but they ended up being up to par with newegg.ca when you include the shipping and handling. The site for this local shop is http://otvtech.com/ if you have any spare time and look under computer parts for better upgrade to cost ratio I would be very grateful
The reason why I don't order online is that I have received damaged/missing items and had very long delivery and don't want to go through that nerve-wrecking process ever again. My Visa has also been hacked before so I am also scared of online shopping.

Thanks again

Personally I would change that PSU. For $10 more you can get a modular PSU: http://otvtech.com/catalogue?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_stock.tpl&product_id=6730&category_id=531 After using a modular PSU you'll never want to go back to a standard one again. It's way easier to get a cluster free case.

As for the CPU cooler save yourself $30 and get the Hyper 212+ http://otvtech.com/catalogue?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_stock.tpl&product_id=5535&category_id=752 It won't be quite as cool, but it will OC just as well and is a bit quieter.

Everything else looks pretty good though.

Thank you that is just what I needed There are some bad reviews about your psu suggestion. Is it going to last me 3-4 years? also what is the difference between modular psu and standard? Wouldn't a bronze certified psu be better then the one you listed since it doesn't state if it is certified or not.

Modular has all its cables detached so you can just plug in whatever you need. Standard has everything in there, so getting a modular one would make your build clutter-free and makes for better airflow.

Oh and Id get an MSI version of the 660Ti. EVGA uses reference coolers and they will, most likely, stay at higher temps than those with custom coolers. (Gigabyte, Asus, and MSI.)

Nothing wrong with your PSU OP.

Nothing wrong with your PSU OP.

For sure, the PSU you have listed is just fine. The only reason I pointed out the other one is because it is modular.

Warranty for the Enermax is 3 years. The Thermaltake has a 5 year warranty.

As far as reviews go they seem to be fairly positive for both on newegg.ca.

And both are 80+ bronze certified. The store you're using just didn't happen to have it listed for the Thermaltake I posted. See http://thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1264&ID=1908 for the certification.

In the end you won't go wrong with either PSU.
