Need some help, this is my build [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I am about to order the last 3 parts which are the RAM, Power Supply and the HDD. I want to order these parts off of Amazon due to having prime and getting next day delivery free. Only problem is only the RAM is available on Amazon.

I have found a hard drive which looks the same but can someone confirm this is the same one [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Lastly the Power Supply I was going to use is no longer on Amazon for around the same price so can someone suggest an alternative power supply which will do the same job. Thanks will +REP

I would go with this HDD [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And a 650w PSU so you could add another 970 in SLI [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I was told not to use that HDD as they are not that good, was I told wrong? Thanks
and I won't be adding another graphics card for a very long time are you able to suggest another PSU a bit cheaper below £70. Thanks

An EVGA G2 650W PSU just over £70 just incase you change your mind about SLI in the future. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You could go with the Barracuda drive you linked above, that would be fine, but if I was you I would order the rest of the system, and as you will store your OS, programs and games on the SSD just wait until you can order the WD Blue drive and add it in later for mass storage.

The drive is perfectly fine. I've been using 2 1TB of them for nearly 2 years now. I haven't had any problems.

It's a shame that you ignored the advice you got on your several other threads.

That'll do you fine. You might be able to afford a 2TB HDD.

I bet your black, white, blue, red, and gold colour scheme looks v nice.

SLI support is irrelevant. Your motherboard doesn't support SLI so you're never going to add a 2nd 970 to that, regardless of your PSU.
