First build in 10 years

[dcraigie]

So its been a while since I have felt the need to build a PC and a lot of things have changed in that time!

I came across this site just before christmas when researching new technologies and I'm glad I did, its been a big help. Can anyone pass a cursory glance at the below and make sure I have got the the right combination of parts and not overlooked anything major?

Case NZXT Phantom

Mainboard Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7

Processor Core i5 2500k

Cooler Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro

Memory Mushkin Ridgeback 8GB (2x4) DDR3 PC3-16000 10-10-10-27

Graphics nVidia GTX 570

PSU NZXT HALE90 850W

OS Drive Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Deluxe 60GB

Storage 2x 1TB Samsung F3 (RAID1)

Optical Drive LG BH10LS30

I'll be looking to add another GTX 570 and a decent Sound card at some point in the future. Will the PSU take that comfortably or do I need to think higher wattage?

Thanks Guys & Gals

cant really fault ur picks at all mate and that psu will handle another 570 without a problem mate

looks like a spot on build mate, you will be over joyed with the case. Its huge and cable management is a breeze

Maybe just get a single 2TB hard drive? just more secure and all the speed is with your ssd anyways.

The rest of the build seems spot on

Thanks everyone, just needed the reassurance before I made some hefty purchases.
