Quality PSU made by SeaSonic and that will even support your 660Ti, i run one of these with a 660 with no issues (and with a hungry Bulldozer aswell your intel will pull less). Want me or any others to put a build together for you?

Let us know your total budget and what you need it for and we'll happily oblige!

But would I not be better off going with a PSU with more power ?

Won't make a difference, its not like it'll make it run better. It'll either run it or it won't, of course you could say a cheapo PSU could have a power ripple but SeaSonic (who make this one) are seen as one of, or the best PSU makers. SeaSonic's own branded PSU's retail for a lot more, reason why XFX is cheaper is because of the brand.

Make a difference to what? The performance, or power load?

Still part of Club Bulldozer! \m/

Anyway, well you've got plenty of RAM. Depending on the brand and model of the PSU i'd suggest a possible GPU upgrade. Worst come to worst your PSU isnt a good one, good ones aren't that much.

It'll cost much less to just change a GPU and maybe a PSU than buying an Ivy rig (not that theres nothing wrong spending lots for intel ;) )

My birthday is on a month and I was going to get the motherboard and CPU and when I can fork up with the cash I was going to get the GPU.
