Is this build good?

[shaunw50]

So I am looking to buy this build

http://pcpartpicker.com/uk/p/oGLj

It cost £697 which is dollars is $1112.133

I be playing all games at 1920x1080 resolution and if possible at max settings.

Do you think this build is good, will it work together also is there any parts I could lower down in price which doesn't ruin the performance.

Note - I already have a hard drive, monitor ect that why I didn't include it in the list.

You kinda need a power supply.

I already have one... apart from that what do you think, could I lower the price with anything that doesn't lower the performance

I'd go with this card http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-148-MS
It comes with six games and the hd 7950 is a little better than the gtx 660 ti. I'd go with this cpu cooler noctua nh-d14 http://www.ebuyer.com/195165-noctua-nh-d14-dual-radiator-and-fan-socket-lga1366-lga1156-lga775-am3-am2-nh-d14

I got a problem, I moved over to the new AMD AM2 chipsets with the new A8-5600K CPU..

Are you able to provide a good motherboard and heatsink for this?

 

[Deemo13]

What power supply is it? If its a bad unit, its worth it to get a new one. If its like an Antec or other, you should be alright.

 

[strife_ff7]

Why would you do that? That cpu is not good at high end gaming it's for lite gaming. That would be a big mistake to match it with a gtx 660 ti.

It from my Dell XPS 630i Gaming pc but they are made by Seasonic I believe

Okay I'll keep it at an i5 ivy bridge. I be overclocking to about 4.0ghz... Do you recommend a good motherboard and heat sink?

The cpu cooler is easy cooler master hyper 212 evo $25 after rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
How much do you want to spend on the mobo and do you want to add a second gpu later for a sli setup?

*edit
This mobo is good and it's very cheap now asrock z77 extreme4 $105 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
It's good for overclocking and sli setups.

So that motherboard you linked looks good as it has what I need, USB 3 and sata 3 also future sli.

What is it like for overclocking, like is bios easy?

Also I heard asrock not a great brand?

Last question is wouldn't a H80 water cooler be better than air cooler?

The overclocking will be very easy. Asrock in the past wasn't that great but now they're good. The h80 would be a little better but not worth the money. The cooler master hyper 212 evo will work just fine @4.0-4.2 if you want to go higher maybe get a noctua nh-d14

Those power supplies aren't terrible. You should be alright.
