-Please comment on whether my choice of parts is balanced. Especially CPU/GPU/MEM. Maybe the GPU could be a HD6570? Maybe HyperX is too ''hyper''? Like to be able to hit 1600Mhz for the heck of it.

-Like to try Realtek ALC892 sound first before going with Xonar DG. Experiences anyone?

-Is the stock cooler ok for a mild overclock if I would ever try that?


Thanks a lot!

Your powersupply isnt very powerful, probably borderline for either of those graphics cards

 

[izl1000]

Thanks for that.

450-500w you'd say?

Could anyone comment whether/which parts are unbalanced. Appreciate it.

yep. a quality 450-500 watt unit would be about right
