Looks good, though I'm confused as to what your going to use this for; the build in your sig is (roughly) equal to the NSB.

To be honest, I can't justify why you would upgrade your rig when the performance gains will be minimal over the rig in your sig.

My mistake. The build looks good. One thing that I would look at is your video card. You can probably upgrade the 4859 to a 4890 for another 20 dollars. I saw one on Newegg.com for 149 last week. Overall for 750 I think the build is solid without me digging through Newegg.com and TigerDirect.com for better deals.

remember, those are US sites, and do not ship to canada. there are Canadian versions of those sites, but the prices are more expensive, and the shipping charges are ridiculous.

Ah, that makes sense now.

The only thing I notice is that the PSU is rather overkill considering that the board can only accommodate a single card. I suggest swapping it out for a Corsair 650W or 550W power supply if it saves a significant about of money. But for $130, its a pretty good deal.

More typically gives your power supply a bit of breathing room especially since, overtime, power supplies start to output less and less wattage.

Since the 750W is only 130 dollars i would def stay with it. A drop in wattage will only net you a a few bucks unless you find a killer deal. Plus lets say for some reason he wants to upgrade his power supply and go into SLI with more hard drives. A bigger power supply allows for upgrades as well. Stick with the 750W.

+1. Not to mention that dropping down would only save $10.

I would suggest substituting your PSU with this one. It saves you 20 bucks, and even more with the MIR. And besides, 750W for that setup is slightly overkill, if you ask me. Link
