Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my current PC. Seems to be at the top end of my budget currently. Any pointers would be appreciated if you see anything amiss. I already have a couple of other HDD's so the caviar green doesn't bother me.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a PSU to buy? I have a Corsair TX650 at the minute, would I need something more in the region of 750w+?

CPU: Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU (4 x 3.40GHz, Ivy Bridge, 6Mb Cache)

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)

GPU: Sapphire HD7970 3GB Vapox-X Graphics Card

Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard

RAM: Corsair 8GB / 16GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory (OR APPROPRIATE 1600MHz+ CL9)

HDD: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green SATA III - 6Gb/s Hard Drive - HDD

SSD: OCZ AGT3-25SAT3-120G Agility 3 120GB SATA III 2.5 inch SSD / Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5 inch

Cheers!
 
Everything looks fine. a Corsair TX650 would be perfectly fine for that setup. 750W is completely unnecessary unless you are running dual 7970's. I don't really have any complaints on your other components. The only think I could say it maybe get a 240/256GB SSD rather than 120. Games just take up way to much space anymore and I blew past 120GB pretty quick on my 240GB SSD with only a handful of games. They recently had a Samsung 840 250GB drive on Newegg for $150.
