Note: I am from Australia, so I’ll be getting everything from pccasegear, unless anybody knows of a better, cheaper place.
I already have a HyperX 3k 120gb SSD. Also I am looking for a decent mechanical keyboard, Im thinking cherry mx blacks, but I’m open to suggestions.

i will be overclocking, but i haven't done it before so it wont be too extreme. I thinking of crossfire later on, that is why i got a bigger PSU. is it enought though?


Thanks heaps in advance any help will be much appreciated

Looks rad dude

Add up all the watts say for sake of arguement your build comes to 350w all in you want to double it then if you plan on adding later add another 100 or so. That puts you at 700-800. 750 is a pretty common wattage. And thats what you have. Looks like a pretty sweet rig dude.

Razer makes some awesome and flashy KB's and looks great all light up at your computer desk

Cheeers man. Yeah i was looking at the Razor Blackwidow, looks nice, buit not sure what switches they use  in it.

It uses Cherry MX Blue switches.

The build looks good, but there's no SSD. I personally wouldn't build a computer without one.

Get yourself an SSD. Even if you just run the OS off it like a 32 gig or 64 gig or something similiar. An SSD will make your day when you reboot times clock under 10 seconds.

If you decide to try and take it past 4.4ghz , be aware that the extreme 4 is OC garbage.

Go for an MSI M-power if you can, great board for 1155 mate :)

oh wow, yeh thanks didn't see that board, looks great. i was nearly going to go for the asus sabertooth, but it was a bit much, the MSI M-power looks like a winner to me.
