First own built custom rig. Any suggestions.

[Lionel Richtea]

Ok. I was looking at building my own rig and I was wondering what y'all thought about it. So far I have been looking to buy the following and wondered if I was missing something like incompatibility issues. I'm not sure if that power supply is good enough either but i'm trying to keep the cost under £750. The total cost so far is £726 (rounded)

Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU (4 x 3.40GHz, Ivy Bridge, Socket 1155, 6Mb L3 Cache, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0)

It all looks good from what I read, should be a solid machine...

Looks good, have you thought about adding an SSD to your build? I have adapted to the habit of using an SSD on every build that I draft up. Also see if the 660 TI is within your budget so you can get it now and maybe the SSD upgrade at an later date.

Good luck.

The 660 TI will bump the price up to about £775.
I might go with it when I actually order the parts if I have enough.
Thanks for the help.
Edit: didn't see saikabyte's post. gonna check those out as well.
