I need a good power supply thats cheap and also I just picked out that ram but if anyone knows of a better set for the same price or cheaper please post below.
Everything else should be taken care of.

PC Power & Cooling Silencer MK III 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703035&Tpk=PC%20Power%20%26%20Cooling%20Silencer%20MK%20III%20500W%2080%20PLUS%20Br

You get a free DVD burner with it .

I would go for this one if your planing on overclocking your gpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119

 

[nvalhalla]

RAM is fine. Love the PSU, the DVD drive makes it a no-brainer

 

[nvalhalla]

The SeaSonic is nice, little more efficient. No DVD drive, so it's a lesser value, but the extra Amps on the 12v rail are nice. The PC P&C is modular though, which is nice. Either way, both are plenty of power.

 

[dotsilent]

Definitely overclocking the GPU so http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119 is looking pretty good.

Any suggestions on RAM. Is the one I picked a good quality?

 

[nvalhalla]

Just noticed the SeaSonic is modular too, so there you go, another point for that one. I guess I would go with the SeaSonic, extra amps and 80+ Gold wins it

 

[nvalhalla]

Yeah, RAM is nice, great price. 9-9-9-24 timing at 1600 and 1.5v is very nice

 

[nvalhalla]

If you want to cut out Amazon and save on shipping, this is comparable

[bigcyco1]

Your choice on ram is fine.I use it in my other build works great!

 

[dotsilent]

Do you guys think I should replace the motherboard I chose with this one.

Because it comes with the free ram it wouldnt be that much more then the current one I picked.

 

[DarkSable]

You can save yourself some money by getting an H77 chipset motherboard instead of a z77 one - the only reasons for z77 are overclocking and SLI/Xfire.

 

[dotsilent]

I plan on overclocking my graphics card and adding another 670 later one next year. Sorry I should have mentioned that.
Im just wondering if the extreme 6 is worth the $30 upgrade

 

[cutebeans]

Get a Corsair TX750 which is on sale right now.

 

[nvalhalla]

Link is broken. What was the MB you are looking at?

 

[dotsilent]

ASRock Z77 Extreme6 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard $160

Is the one im looking at on newegg. It comes with a free 8gb of ram which I would be spending $30 on so total the upgrade from the extreme3 would cost me $30

 

[dotsilent]

Pretty much I have a leftover $100 to spend so if you see anything worth the upgrade i could go for it. Graphics card wise id like to stick to nvidia though.

 

[bigcyco1]

It's worth it if you buy the i5-3570k otherwise it's pretty pointless investment imo.
