change theses 2 things:

1. get value RAM since ur not gonna do OC, cheaper as the performance RAM will offer minimal difference for the $$

2. Get Win7 Home Premium 64bit, its enough features for u and can support RAM setups more than 3.5Gb

Yes 600W is good enough for Gtx560 SLi

overall ur system is ok wink.gif

Hi TristanX ...i always see u helping ppl...my com is follow the way u guide me and own do sum change...
anyways , if gonna change PSU...i think upgrade to SLI i have to change two part edi (Mobo Z68+PSU+GTX 560 for SLI = 1.7k)...
haiz...now actually also fast as wat i wan edi...beyond this = $$$ ...I think i stay current spec don think much le
If only change Mobo can do SLI...then i might consider tat...cox Mobo can change now ,n SLI can wait for nice price only do Grab n Upgrade....

I see. I suggest you stick to what you have as it is already very good. Who knows? You might even end up with DirectX 12 graphic card in the future.

do not skimp on PSU is a good advice.

even my 550w Gigabyte Odin GT - i stress it kau kau for so many years only it show deterioration. Applied same stress to lesser quality PSU like Vantec, after about 1 month I smell burning already. tongue.gif

Usually lesser quality PSU is fine when you're not stressing it.

Acbel is not the best out there. But the lifetime warranty still look very nice. The question is how does its lifetime warranty policy. hmm.gif

You will want at least 650W of power to run two GTX 560 Tis smile.gif.

As for the power supplies, these are the ones that you should go for :

In terms of quality :

Seasonic;
Corsair;
Silverstone;
Gigabyte;
FSP;
Xigmatek;
Cooler Master;
AcBEL.

The best would be from the top and the worst performing would be at the bottom ( when compared relatively ).

They're all good brands.

Oh yeah laugh.gif. Unfortunately Be Quiet! and OCZ doesn't seem to be available here though in the retail stores. The garage sales section should have them though smile.gif.
