    Can't see anything obviously incompatible or missing, looks solid.

    Since you aren't heavily overclocking and using multiple GPUs, a 450W PSU would do you just fine, the i5-3570 and HD7850 really are are very power friendly and I doubt the entire system would be drawing much over 200W even with both under full load.

    Again if not overclocking theres no real reason to spend any more than this B75 motherboard really. If it is missing one or two features you need get the cheapest B75 or H77 that has everything you need feature instead of the more expensive z77 motherboards.

    For slightly over another tenner off if you aren't getting a third party CPU cooler you won't need thermal paste as the stock one will have it pre applied, and the M4 without the data transfer kit (whatever that might be) is a whiopping €7 euro cheaper :p

    Thanks Marco for the feedback.

    Was thinking alright that the 650w psu was overkill, will prob change it to the 450w model. Will be getting rid of the thermal paste since theres no need for it.
    As for the M4 wit data transfer kit, not sure if i'll ever need the transfer kit but it was only an extra €7 so i put it in.

    The motherboard is the only thing at the moment which is something i'm thinking about weather to change r not. the z77 is a gd bit more than b75 r h75 but for future upgrades was thinking the z77 would be worth the extra..

    Thanks again.. :D

    If you're going to stick with the Z77, bump up to the 3570K. I know you've said you're not interested in overclocking, but it only about €15 extra, and the amount of extra performance you can get for free is ridiculous.
