Default New computer specs: what do you think?

After countless CTDīs and 3 years of use I decided to retire my old rig and buy a new one. Not being a expert/geek myself I would like to know what you guys think of it:
- Intel Core i7-2600
- 2x4GB Kingston DDR3 1333MHz
- Intel DH67BL motherboard
- Geforce GTX560Ti
- Win7 64bit
- HDD SATA 1.0TB Samsung.

It sounds good enough and where I live those things are expensive, nevertheless itīll be good to know if Iīm doing something stupid.

You are good with this but is very important to pay attention at the power supply and try to have an big case well ventilated also

i7 2600 CPU
Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H-B3 Motherboard
8G RAM (2x4G sticks)
2TB HDD
Coolermaster CM690 Case
Coolermaster GX750 Power supply
GTX 570 Graphics
DVD-RW Drive
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

What do you guys think? Any suggestions...

You might want to read this review on that power supply: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=188

Funny, I looking at the other PSU thread, opened the link to the recommended PSUs, and at the bottom under 'Stay Away From' I saw the GX750 listed and thought it sounded familiar You may want to look here for a recommended 750W power supply.

Okay well i read that review on the power supply and yeah that doesnt sound too promising..well nothings final yet anyway, the tower hasnt been built yet and i can always make changes to the hardware, im not very educated in computers and the technicality of them these specs i posted up here was just what the guy at the PC store recommended based on what I wanted...

So if you guys know your stuff, then what would be a ideal power supply?

I think you can't go wrong with Antec. Think if you grab a 650W Truepower or a 750W one if you plan to ever get a dual-GPU setup, you'll never come to regret it.
