Hi there,

Just looking for a thumbs up really as admittedly i am not an IT wizard by any means. Been having a play around and ended up with the below build that fits my budget. I am looking to be able to play modern games on high spec at least (bf3, crisis etc).

Will the build below cut it? I may have gone a little over kill on the PSU, but I have read the gtx 570 can be a little power hungry, I will be using a 27inch monitor on 1920x1080 so I want to make sure the display is pushed through with as little struggle as possible. Any feedback greatly appreciated thanks in advance!
Ps- not looking to over clock or sli/crossfire down the line, just want a simple yet effective build that does the job

Ok, pretty decent build, but i have a couple of suggestions, first change the gpu to a 7850, takes like half the power of 570 and as you can see is the same performance/ slightly better in some spots, http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/518?vs=549 .

That power supply is no good, good psu brands are, cosair, seasonic, AFX, pc power and cooling, and antec... try something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005
It may be a little more expensive but, would you rather have a good psu and have your system keep running for a while, or have a bad psu and have it blow up your whole computer?...What kind of hard drive is that 1 tb hard drive?
