The power supply is 750W because I plan to upgrade to a 7990 soon after buying it and selling the 7950 to a friend.

Also, please recommend a cheap gaming keyboard + mouse combo? Was thinking CM Storm Xornet and Sidewinder X4?

Build looks all good I wouldn't really change anything. Apart from I'd lean more towards the XFX 7950 because of the dual fan cooler.

I thought you'd want something like a M5A97 R2.0 for overclocking purposes though.

I can't recommend any peripherals as I have next to no knowledge about them.

Well the HIS one is cheaper and comes with five games, so that swayed my choice.

As for the motherboard, I'm not really going for a big overclock, maybe a couple hundred megahertz. The Hyper 212 is more for silence than cooling.

The Hyper 212 EVO is a great air cooler, but my old NZXT T20 was quieter than y current 212. So have a look into that cooler. The T20 isn't as big either, the size of the 212 s quite annoying at times, especially on a widowed case.

Anyways, it's a nice build. (Took long enough to make!)

The Xornet is a good mouse, it's a tad on the small size but its responsive and has on-the-fly DPI switching from two buttons behind the scroll wheel.

If you have big hands then it might suit a claw type grip, or if you have girly hands like me, you'll be golden.

I don't have a Sidewinder, but i hear its one of the best rubber dome keyboards around.

Im getting the Hyper 212 EVO due to it coming with the case, found a guy online selling me the HAF XB and cooler.

As for the mouse, I would prefer a bigger one, I have massive hands.

I use the Gigabyte M9 ICE, it is an amazing mouse and quite cheap...

Have a look.

Id much rather have a wired one than any wireless one.

And the guy offered some spaghetti, but I said to give me some Haribo Kiddies Supermix instead.

I SAID KIDDIES SUPERMIX.

For peripherals I'd recommend the Razer Deathadder and the Logitech g110 or Razer anasi
