    Hi guys, 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.

    PSU is overkill. Something like this would be a better PSU, and still be more than enough power for any single GPU solution (overclocked 780 Ti included).

    You also want the 3570K or you won't be able to overclock.

    I'd also throw an SSD in there if you can. It's something that every gaming rig should have at this point really.
