Hi everyone, I have been looking around and think that I have found a good combination of parts for my next build, but am looking for some expert advice. It will be used for photo/ movie editing, playing games and a bit of everything else. Below is what I am thinking of buying... (I already have a 2TB and 500GB hard drive that I will be using for all my data) Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Motherboard Intel Core i5 3570K 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black, PC3-12800 (1600) 120GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD (for OS and Apps) 600W Corsair Builder Series PSU Corsair Carbide Series 400R Case A few questions I have. 1) Will I need a 120GB SSD or should I just get a 60GB (it will be for the OS and Apps) or should I just spend a little extra and keep the 120GB? 2) As you probably noticed I have yet to chose a graphics card, what would your advice be to complement the above build (max £300)? 3) I am never sure about buying power supplies. Is the above PSU good enough for what I will be using? Thanks for any help.

Your power supply is a bit skimpy. I would go for more like 650w from Corsair or Seasonic. 120GB is the way to go for your SSD. For graphics I would go with a HD7870 unless you want to do some multi monitor gaming.
Thanks for the replies! I will definitely stick with the 120GB SSD, I might fill it up one day. maestro0428, cheers for the advice, I'll have a look at some better power supplys. I don't think that I will be getting another monitor anytime soon, so I will have a look at the HD7870.
personal choice would be to look at either a crucial m4 128gb or a samsung 830 128gb SSD rather than the agility 3
