I need feedback for my new stepup.

[nickpokesyou]

I got a budget of $2000 SGD, my planing is

Asus Sabertooth z77

I7 3770K

SeaGate 1TB

Corsair Vengeance 1600 (2X4GB)

MSI GTX 670 Power Edition

Antec Kuhler 920

Cooler Master Enforcer

Seasonic X560

Asus 20" LED monitor

Total would cost be about 2.2k, i need help to reduce cost yet to stay same or even a better performace.

I would use this rig for Mostly gaming & abit of video editing

is 560Walts Enough to support the current plan i have now?

The PSU should be more the enough for that setup.

but since the PSU gives no headroom for an SLI upgrade i would get another mobo. The sabertooth is overkill in this case. i would however get something like a: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=70263&vpn=GA-Z77X-UD3H&manufacture=Gigabyte&promoid=1338

PS: The sabertooth is a great board, but when the budget is so "small" and you dont plan on having SLI i wouldnt use that much money on a mobo. eather increase the budget and get a a better PSU + a SSD so you can get SLI or step down the mobo to reach your target price.

also if you want even more of the price off, a i5 2550k or simular is pretty good.

@zahlio , i intend to get the mobo because of future upgrade is more easier like SLI. PSU is at the limit already. any brands of PSU is good yet cheap?

How much video editing are you going to be doing exacly? If I was you I would say quite abit of money and get an i5 processor. And get a cheaper mobo. Also you should take a look at a 7950, or maybe even a 7970? I'm not sure if they are cheaper than the 670 in your country, but in the UK they are:)

now quite abit, but i can say in future maybe quite alot. as for GPU i need go & check.

- Now when you say "a bit of video editing" how much do you mean as if it's only say a video a day for youtube you could easily get away with a 3570K and save $100 as it will still do the job.

- I doubt you're going to use all the features that the Sabertooth comes with, don't get me wrong it's a great board don't get me wrong but it's not needed and seen as you're trying to save money you may as well switch to something like the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 / Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H / MSI Z77A-GD65 -- all have near enough the same features as each other and will allow for CrossFireX/SLI if you ever needed it in the future and will save you $100.

- You could go with a 500GB HDD for now to save money then when you start running out of room purchase another.

- Get rid of the AiO liquid cooler as it's not worth the money, grab something like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO which will be able to give your system a respectable overclock.

- Switch the PSU to something like an Antec HCG 620-M for $80, you'll save a fair amount there. It's semi-modular and will do the trick. It's also manufactured by SeaSonic.

- For your GPU, back to the video editing, if you aren't doing too much then you could grab a HD 7970 or if you want to save money then a HD 7950 otherwise if you are doing a decent amount then the CUDA cores may come in handy for you.

- You could save about $10 or so by going with an NZXT Source 210 Elite case rather than the Cooler Master Enforcer. It has good cooling and adequate room for cable management.

If there is anything else then feel free to ask.

Why Gold? It makes no real difference and can cost you more in the price difference than what you save in bills.
