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...

Looks super. Is that a 750W rated PSU?

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.

Hi guys, finally picking up my new custom built PC tommorow specifically made to smash Silent Hunter 5's game engine and graphics and finally run this sim at its highest detail with maximum frame-rates, so hopefully no more CTD's lag..etc

I think this setup should do it, tell me what you guys think..

i7 2600 CPU
Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H-B3 Motherboard
8GB DDR3 RAM
2TB Hard Drive
Coolermaster CM690 Case
Corsair HX 750 PSU
nVidia GTX 580 Video Graphics Card
DVD-RW Drive
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Cheers,

Ren

If you're lucky you might..just might be able to open say a spreadsheet or a digital picture.

That system should kick major butt and take names while simultaneouslytracking all the naval vessels whether foreign or domestic.
