I do agree about most PSU's being safe(nothing has gone wrong with all my stock PC's PSU's so far) it's just as Halokillerz said i was planning on upgrading both the GPU and PSU at the same time.

Thanks for all the help guys i'll place my orders when i get home.

Well i don't plan on doing much(any) PC gaming for a while as i'll still be playing Halo Reach and COD BO so i can worry about upgrading the card when i have some more money.

I've been looking into building my first PC and have narrowed down the parts that i think should all work well together.

These are the Parts:

CPU:AMD Phenom II X4 925

http://products.amd.com/en-na/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=620

(I have allready purchased this)

Motherboard:http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3412#ov

RAM:Kingston ValueRAM 4GB(2x2GB) DDR3 1333 Mhz

http://www.notebookcity.co.nz/kingston-valueram-4gb-kit-ddr3-1333mhz-dimm-pc10600-desktop-ram&ref=pricespy

(Is 4GB ram overkill? Is it allright to go with the 1333 rather than a higher Mhz?)

Case: Thermaltake V3 Black edition with 450W PSU and one 120mm fan

http://www.thermaltake.com/product_info.aspx?PARENT_CID=C_00001577&id=C_00001578&name=V3+Black+Edition&ovid=

HD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=20b92d0ca8dce110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD

Have not yet decided on CD/DVD drive and will wait before getting a new Graphics card as integrated ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics on motherboard should suffice for a while.

Will not be used to play many games mainly Civ V, Diablo 3 or any other PC exclusives as i prefer consoles.

Keep in mind that im not from the US and instead come from New Zealand where the prices are higher and the choice is a bit more limited.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
