I am planning on building my first PC.

Here is the link http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LynM8K

Note:The 380 is just there in place of a 480 as they are similar in price

I would like to do a slight overclock and plan on adding an additional card for crossfire once games begin to run slow and my budget is £750

Any help is appreciated.

I heard a lot of ppl say bad things abt the SSD you choose. They say Kingston swap out a much slower NAND controller when they actually sell this product, so the performance is not as fast as reported. I would suggest some other brand like Crutial, Adata or Sandisk. Go for sumsung if you can fit it into the budget.

 

tbh, if you only considering slight overclock, then 750W is not necessary, I say a 650W is far enough for your need even if you overclock both CPU and GPU. Plus Hyper 212 can only allow you to overclock a little.

change the PSU to an EVGA G2 series PSU, also that SSD has a much slower NAND controller, go for crucial, adata, or samsung, i used a patriot blaze 120GB drive and im pretty happy with it for it being a budget SSD

if he is getting a 750w CX series PSU might as well change it to a 650W EVGA G2 PSU as it has much more solid and reliable capacitors than the cheap chinese caps that the CX PSU has. because when those chinese caps blow then it will be like ISIS Jihad my ummah dawn has appeared

Thanks for the advice would a EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply be a good choice?

this PSU is superior to the NEX PSU
