Processor: Core i5 2500K 6MB Cache Socket 1155


Motherboard: Asus P8H61 Intel H61 (Socket 1155) Motherboard


You need a P67/Z68 motherboard - The H61 chipset is not over-clockable, where as the fully unlocked 2500k is.

Power Supply: Non-modular 450W Power Supply (80 Plus Certified)


- It's probably junk since you didn't list anything about it.

- 450w is really cutting it for a GTX 560 - You'll have almost zero overclocking/SLI options.

Greetings friends,
I concur with Generation, this build doesn't seem well thought out. If you plan on having the option of overclocking at all, a P67/Z68 motherboard will be necessary. In addition, it would be wiser to opt for a larger power supply and possibly even entertain the option of SLI. As this build stands, it is a pathetic amalgamation of a respectable CPU and GPU coupled with the cheapest case, PSU, and motherboard. I would recommend going back to the drawing board on this, because if there is any single component that should not be skimped upon, it is the motherboard.

Best of luck,
Zim

Get a bigger psu, maybe 750w even though that much isnt needed.

Also I would recommend a different motherboard. I use
