Hi, I'm going to be building a new PC soon, I just want some advice on if these parts will work well together: CPU : Intel Core i5 2500, S1155, Sandy Bridge, Quad, 3.3GHz [URL="http://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-core-i5-2500-s1155-sandy-bridge-quad-33ghz-hd2000-igp-850mhz-6mb-cache-95w-retail"]Link[/URL] GPU : EVGA 1280MB GeForce GTX 570 HD DS NVIDIA [URL="http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1280mb-evga-gtx-570-hd-ds-40nm-3800mhz-gddr5-gpu-732mhz-shader-1464mhz-480-cores-dvi-dp-hdmi-plusfre"]Link[/URL] Mother Board : ASUS P8H77-V LE S1155 Intel H77 DDR3 SATA 3 [URL="http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-p8h77-v-le-intel-h77-s-1155-ddr3-sata-iii-6gb-s-pcie-30-(x16)-usb-30-d-sub-(vga)-dvi-d-hdmi-atx"]Link[/URL] RAM : Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9-1600MHz-Vengeance-Memory/dp/B004CRSM4I/ref=pd_sim_computers_1"]Link[/URL] PSU : Powercool PCPC650AUBA 650W Power Supply 80+ Certified [URL="http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-powercool-pcpc650auba-80-plus-sli-crossfire-quiet-fan-atx-v22-psu"]Link[/URL] Thanks a lot.
What is your budget? You could go with the new Ivy bridge i5. The GTX 660ti is also a fair bit better than the GTX 570.
If I were you, I'd swap that PSU out with one from Corsair, Antec, or SeaSonic. The PSU you selected looks like an IED.
I was thinking the PSU looks a bit dodgy, and my budget is about £650
Yeah, it's definitely dodgy. Swap it out with a quality brand.
What would you recommend? Something that stays within a nice price range?
I used [url=http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx]this list[/url] when looking for a power supply, and I ended up choosing [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817815009&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-]this[/url], which has worked for about a year. A little out of date though, but it helped guide my research/choice
Okay, so I've swapped the PSU for a Coolermaster thanks to that sheepboy. So, would this system actually work then?
I'd get a corsair, seasonic or antec.
