Just ordered, can't . . . stop . . . amending

So finally settled on this, after three amendments.

COOLERMASTER CM690 MKII ADVANCED CASE
Intel® Core™i5-2500k Quad Core (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache) + HD Graphics
ASUS® P8Z68-V LX
8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (2 x 4GB KIT)
1.25GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 570
1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK
CORSAIR 750W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX750 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE
TITAN FENRIR EVO EXTREME HEATPIPE CPU COOLER

I must now resist the urge to tinker with it. It's now in the 8th day of pre-production.

-_-
 
Actually I have some confusing feedback about my amendments. The maximum wattage is calculated around 590 and I have opted for a 750W PSU and apparently I should upgrade it. Clearly failed to account for the extra power-draw of the GTX570.

I'm hoping this will be enough but factoring in aging and upgrades (probably a new graphics card in a couple of years) should I get a larger PSU?

Above calculator states 530W at 100% load for all components with an overclock @4GHz! Using PCS's own guidelines on the website I calculate <500w.

I think I have answered my own question . . .

:stupid:
