    Advice please on computer build

    I posted the other day about a computer build for my son, now that I've built him one, my husband has decided it was time he got a new computer as well.

    Basically he wants a decent system for his games, nothing too expensive, yet not something that we'll have to upgrade over the next year or so.

    So...this is what I've put together, opinions would be greatly appreciated (not really sure on the PSU since he's looking to add an additional card in a few weeks), basically I just want to make sure everything will work together and I won't end up blowing something up due to lack of knowledge on my end.

    The GS series of power supplies are pretty awful. Everything else looks golden.

    Looks pretty solid. Don't forget your OS and possibly an optical drive. Throw in a SSD and it would honestly be a kick ass system.

    I would consider going with this PSU however or a modular corsair.

    Thanks for the quick replies.

    So instead of going with the PSU I had listed, this one would be better? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151088

    Also adding in http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827135204 for the dvd drive

    My only question since I know next to nothing about PSU's. Will I have to upgrade the PSU once he decides to add in a 2nd GPU?

    I already have Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
