    Take a look at my final PC rig build :) - anything missing/how have I done!?

    Howdy all, been picking up parts for a few months and have finally got a complete system.
    Need a decent keyboard and may pick up a gaming mouse, but the last bits for the build of my rig are arriving next week. This is what I've gone for:

    M/Board, RAM and CPU:
    Asus Motherboard P8P67 PRO
    Sandybridge i7 2600k
    8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600hz RAM
    ?269 (Forums)

    OS: Windows 7 Pro - ?40 (Forums)

    GPU: N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC - 1GB MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC
    ?170 (Dabs -in Offer + Free Arkham City)

    PSU: Antec True Power New 750W Modular Power Supply
    ?75.59 (SCAN Daily Deal)

    BR DRIVE: Samsung SH-B123L (RETAIL)
    ?46.79 (SCAN Daily Deal)

    HDD: 1TB F3 Samsung
    ?39.59 (SCAN Daily Deal)

    SSD: 64GB Crucial RealSSD M4, 2.5" SSD, SATA III New Version (SCAN Daily Deal)
    ?76.79

    COOLING: 120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1450 rpm Cooling Fan x 2
    ?23.95 (SCAN)

    Corsair H60
    ?49.99 (Dabs)

    CASE: Define R3 Black Pearl Mid-Tower USB 3.0 Case
    ?74.98 (Dabs)

    Total build = ?866.68 delivered. (I didn't include the ?5 I paid for an airmouse as will probably use that and a gaming mouse)

    Anything I'm missing apart from keyboard? Seem like a decent build?

    Cheers

    Seems great, some would say the 2600k is overkill but nuts to them

      Yeah Id actually agree but got the m/board bundle for less than an i5 so seemed silly not to!

        That is going to be a fine PC, and a good price on the bundle!

              Yeah I'm borrowing one for the setup and then going to use my TV It's a lovely set that's been calibrated so should be perfect.

              Dolphin will say thank you too.
              Haha nice one!

              Just figured out my cooling yesterday, going to have the H60 fan as an intake, as well as a front intake and then mount the Scythes to the top of the case as an exhaust. I also may stick a fan on the side as an exhaust as well so should be all good!

              Am I right in thinking FSW that I don't need to change the Base Rate Clock on the Sandybridge CPU to overclock?
