hey guys,
ive had my old reliable pc for about 10 years now and decided its time for an upgrade and noticed how its so much better for value and more fun just to build your own. my knowledge on pc componenets is quite shallow so i used alot of forum posts and youtube videos to come up with this list, would anyone mind taking a look and giving their opinions on it, im kind of unsure about the power supply i chose, any info on that is greatly appreciated as well.
thank you.

A power supply is only adequate if it meets or exceeds the needs of your power hungry machine. This unit is good for you, but if you're looking to upgrade to an SLI configuration anytime soon, it may be pushing the limits. Otherwise, it will get you where you need to be.

Personally, I would look into a more popular brand, such as Corsair or EVGA. These companies have experience in their categories, they make great products.

Yes! Corsair is a great, trusted PSU manufacturer. This will give you great energy savings, cable management, and capacity for expansion. The three year warranty and Corsair's technical support is great too. Good luck.

Dont get the cx750m. Not a good psu line from corsair, you will regret it. Get this psu instead http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650xxxb9 or this one http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120pg0650gr The reason why for these two power supplies is that for the xfx, xfx makes some really durable psus that are HIGH quality. Also it is semi modular which helps in cable managment. Now the reason why I would go with the evga one is because for just 10 euros more, you get a FULLY modular psu and it has 80+ GOLD EFFICIENCY. These are some major parts of the psu. Its up to you if you want to spend the extra 10 euros. The 650w will easily handle everything even a sli 760 windforce
