i5 2500k
AsRock Pro 4 Z77
Radeon HD Sapphire 7750
Cooler Master RC 430 (I'll purchase additional fans)
Seagate 1TB HDD
Kingston Hyper X 120 GB SSD (For upgrade in about a year or so)

Suggestions for a PSU please and is everything there okay?
Ask if you want to know more, thanks guys! :hello:
 
If you aren't a gamer, you don't really need a video card that low-end; if you are a gamer, with a low budget, you're spending WAY too much money on the CPU and way too little on the graphics card.

(You also want an i5-3570k instead of a -2500k, especially seeing as how you've got a z77 mobo there. A 2500k is older tech that won't make use of the tricks up the sleeve of that motherboard.)

Also... no ram?

As for Power supplys, Id go with a Seasonic, Antec, Silverstream, Corsair at 600-700 watts, 80+ bronze modular. You should be able to find something is the 60-100 dollar range.

Less than £700
Not too intense, around 7/8. Games, nothing as demanding as Crysis 2.
Overclocking if I need/want to.



Ivy Bridge is more expensive than Sandy, only by £4 but :heink:
The GPU is temporary, maybe for a year or so, as long as it can get around 30fps, it's fine for now.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4gb) DDR3



Thanks for the other replies guys, just a disclaimer, this is my first pc that's custom, so I'll have nothing to compare and contrast against apart from a Pentium laptop. To an experienced PC gamer/builder etc, the rig may seem lower-end and stupidly bought, but I'm only to upgrade my parts. So, bearing that in mind, this rig is okay, right?
