    Good afternoon Peoples of the Forum!

    Graphics Card
    Sapphire HD7870 OC Edition

    DVD:
    Asus DRW-24B1ST 24x


    CPU Cooler:
    Coolermaster Hyper TX3 Evo

    CPU:
    Intel Core i5-2500K ( Unlocked Multiplier )


    PSU:
    Gigabyte ODIN 720W

    Pretty slick setup. IMO I wouldn't get that case based on aesthetic appeal. If you're going for the white look, how about this: Corsair Carbide 500R

    also i wont get the 720W odin.

    ITs pretty muh a 500w psu

    Get anything antec

    Well TP or HCP range not the earthwatss range

    Your HDD wont work unless you take that and use it as a storage drive and get a normal HDD that is 7200RPM for your OS drive. 5900 is not gonna work
