I'm just about ready to order with this build, but I wanted some more experienced people to look it over and give me suggestions and tell me if there are any problems with it. Thanks in advance!

That Corsair PSU will not be able to handle that setup. I'd say drop the expensive keyboard and upgrade to the TX-650. I've said it before and I will say it again - the people who are advocating cheaper power supplies are flat out WRONG. Having a power supply with more watts than you need doesn't hurt at all. However having a PSU with too few watts or the bare minimum will cause instability and system failure. I've seen this with my own eyes on more than one build so I am not exaggerating this.

Otherwise the rest of that build looks good.

Any suggestions on keyboards then? Also, Is a 600w PSU really necessary?
EDIT: Is this one good for the job? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Sorry for the double post, But is this Rosewill PSU good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Yes. Seasonic makes excellent power supplies. 600W is plenty, the 500W will struggle with a 3570K.

Green power supplies are OK. They're no more energy efficient than something that's rated 80+ platinum.

For $20 cheaper is it worth getting the Rosewill?

 

[N3xdominus]

Bump, Any other ideas or suggestions?

No get the Seasonic. Or get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020

I can't emphasize this enough: cheaper power supplies ARE NOT WORTH IT. This is one area where you need to heavily research - make sure you know the supply you're getting.

 

[N3xdominus]

It got a good review, but I guess it would be worth it to get the Seasonic. Even if it's just for the peace of mind. The rest of the build is ready to go though?

Yes the rest of the build looks good. I'd heavily suggest reading jonnyguru.com - they are *THE* authority on power supplies.

I couldn't find the Rosewill one reviewed but here's the 520W model of the Seasonic one: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=185
