Re: Advice Required Gaming Intel Build (£950ish)
The PSU has got an excellent review:
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/800
It is a bit OTT but it is only around £10 to £15 than some other lower power PSUs and Seasonic do make very solid PSUs.
Having said that there is also the 650W Corsair HX650W for around the same price which is made by Seasonic too.
Of course the following Antec would probably be fine too:

It too has got a decent review:

It seems the PSU is also made by Seasonic! :)
However one quirk of the Asus motherboard is that you need to use a switch card if you are only running one graphics card.

Alot of people rate your advice so I shall stick to that! Plus with the 750W one there is definately room for growth!
I'm considering holding back buying until end of April now, with the release of these new x6 cores it should drive the price down of current ones (?), meaning I could look at reworking some other bits.

Your motherboard does support the Phenom II BTW:

The only thing is that the HT speed would be reduced!! :(
I would probably wait a few weeks more too BTW!

Thanks again for all the help (its not allowing me to thank-you in the threads :confused:)
