Avoid the Sandisk one. You will regret later.

yh this looks like a basic work case

The Sandisk SSD is fine, atleast the one he linked and has a mature enough firmware for even the most data hungry people.

But I'd recommend some changes to that build:

Take the Gigabyte Z77X UD3H instead of the D3H, one of the best boards at that price and would serve you well if you've overclocking in mind. The 7850 is an awesome card, but since you are getting a non reference- why not get the best? Go for an MSI HD7850 Twin Frozr Ediion(Power Edition).

Next up, you can actually get a good 650w unit and have plenty of room for future upgrades(even adding a second 7850). So look for a Corsair AX650 or SeaSonic X-650 if you are looking for a modular unit. Or a KingWin Lazer 650w/Rosewill Hive 630w/Antec HCP 600w(not sure of the wattage).

As for the case it's purely preference but if you don't plan on going triple cards or awesome WC setups a cheap NZXT Source 210/Antec 300 will do.

If you can save a bit from the total cost, grab a CoolerMaster Hyper Evo/Corsair A70 for cheap and will allow you to clock that 3570k to atleast a 4.2GHz.

The Sandisk Ultra series had problems, the Extreme is perfectly fine and is one of the most stable of the Sandforce SSDs. I have one as well

How long do you want the PC to last? Cause if it's >2 years then you might want to skip the SSD entirely and get a better GPU instead, like a 7950 minimum. You can always pick up a SSD later, prices have been falling rapidly so that won't be a problem.

Nice! What parts did you get?

About the overclocking, you will need to do some reading on your part(will link you some guides, after you get your stuff). But for a single 7850 @1920x1080, a 3570k at stock is fine. The Evo should keep it at much better temps, and stock coolers...well uhh, they plain suck.

^^ only if you plan to OC

Even at stock there's a huge difference, more likely 5-10C on avg between an Evo and a stock Intel cooler(AMD coolers are much better though).

Awesome.

You basically got everything I said, minus the SSD. Can you give the link to your PSU, just to be sure? I can't find it on OCuk. You got my favorite board/cooler/PSU and the best 7850 there is. You can get the SSD later, prices are falling everyday and will go down even more. The SSD you linked is completely fine, that 8GB is nothing to worry about. You'll still have ~100GB+ for your Windows installation/apps(plus a few games).

A little insight about the PSU: it can easily run 750w @80PLUS GOLD, so basically a really efficient(~90%+) 650w and one of the best units at that range.

If you are still undecided about that, I'll recommend:

• Samsung 830
• Corsair Performance Pro
• OCZ Vertex 4
• Crucial M4
• Plextor M3
• Intel 510/520 or even the 3xx(if you can find them cheap)

Oh and the Antec 300 doesn't have any cable management(out of the box), but you can still manage a tidy(clean) look if you give it some time. Plus the Lazer(Platinum, I hope) is a modular PSU, which means less cables and best of all they are really manageable unlike non modular PSUs. Part of the reason for getting the 300 was to accommodate an Evo($30) since you are getting an unlocked CPU(3570k) and also for getting that UD over the vanilla D3H.

Post pictures, and good luck with the build. If there's any problem, post here.

[Codex]

It is, the silverstone/corsair units would simply have been better.

Still, what's done is done. Best of luck with your system
