New Build Advice

[treacd000]

Hi Lads, building my first rig and wanted to get your thoughts on the hardware

Case : Corsair 600T
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z77
CPU : i5-3570k
Ram : 8gb Corsair Vengence or Dominator platinum
GPU : Asus 660ti
Storage : SSD samsung 840 or corsair gtx 120gb and a 2td WD Green HD
PSU : Corsair TX550M or TX650M

I use the rig for gaming and general stuff, internet, office, photos, videos etc.
I hope to try some overclocking, possibly add a second 660ti and some watercooling when the budget allows.

I struggle to find words when people ask for thoughts.

It all works fine. Youve not mentioned CPU cooling at all and its pointless watercooling 660's

You may want to look at a better power supply if you want to add a second card.
The TXs only have 2 PCIE connectors according to the Corsair website.

Any chance of upgrading to an AX650/760? Or maybe other Seasonic units or Silverstone if you can't afford the AX series
