It looks good but I would of got a different psu. The ocz is ok but it has a few flaws. It only has about 500w on its +12v and its split in two. Half of the 500w goes to the gpu, drives, case fans and the other half goes to the mobo and cpu. Another problem is the 8-pin and 4-pin that power the cpu are short you can't hide it behind the mobo. It's not a bad psu but the xfx pro550w or corsair tx650 would of been a better choice.

Strife thank you for the response.... I did alot of research, and had to make a final decision based on reviews and it had pretty good reviews...hopefully it will do for my purposes! Again thank you!

I would have added in a small SSD, something like the Crucial M4 or Samsung 830 128GB.

I know what you mean about the reviews. In fact I bought the ocz modxstream pro 600w about 1.5 years ago based on its good reviews. When I got my hd 7950 about 6 months ago I was a little concerned about it having enough power for it if I overclocked it so I got a xfx pro550w. The ocz psu might have enough power but it would be close and I just didn't want to chance it.
