Hi guys, new to the toms community but I do check it for answers regarding parts. So I'm buying a new rig and was wondering if the components I'm buying will work together and/if I should change anything. They are:
PSU: Corsair 750 Watt Builder Series CX 750 Modular Power Supply
CPU:Intel Core i5-3570 S1155 3.4GHz 6MB
GPU:Zotac GeForce GTX 660 Ti 1033MHz 2GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI AMP!
RAM:Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 Vengeance Black Performance Desktop Memory
MotherBoard:Asus P8Z77-V LX S1155 Intel Z77 DDR3 ATX
Hard Drive:Toshiba 2TB SATA 6GB/s 32MB 7200RPM 3.5" Hard Drive
Case:Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with Fan Controller
Total Cost is €827.
This does not include windows 7 which I can probably buy for under €100.
All opinions welcome.

You could cut down on the power of the PSU, from 750W to 500 or 600W, saving a bit. You could then spend the savings on the next step up processor and a motherboard with the new Z87 chipset
