    Default Ivy Bridge Build

    Hey this is my first post on this forum just wanted some advice on my new Ivy Bridge build, here is a wishlist with the parts I have chosen any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated, I would like to SLI or crossfire in the future and I definitely want to overclock as much as I can. My budget is £750 although I am willing to stretch it a little bit. With these parts I have left about £160 for the processor so I would also like to know which processor is worth getting.
    Here is the link to the wishist - https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/nWQ7BeutloaVQmYDwra67g,,

    I already have a 500gb WD Caviar Blue and I already have windows 7
    Thanks in advance

    No wishlist showing... do you need OS / monitor / kbd / mouse / dvd / hdd or are you able to salvage any of these from a previous build ?

    Here's a good start for £749 inc Vat + Del. : https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/W_jJtAG8SgxgK-I6DwIONw,,
    (need to add to cart to see the superspecial prices )

    There's some wiggle room with the size of the SSD and you may want a better cooler for more overclocking. The hyper 212 is pretty good for its budget, but there are much better coolers available such as the Dark Rock Pro/Advanced

    I looked at that wish list, will that powersupply be enough for sli 680's I hope to upgrade to those sometime in the future. Also I removed the 2500k because i am going to make it an ivy bridge build if the price for performance is good, thank you for the help though

    SLI 680s ? You have high hopes for the future my friend

    Whilst I would say the TX750 would just about do it... I would feel a lot happier with the 850W - especially if you're planning on medium to high overclocks

    It probably would be enough.
