Nice build. I would most definitely get a better PSU,especially with that kind of hardware attached.Go for a more reliable company, silver stone, xfx, seasonic, corsair, antec, PC power and cooling and a few others.

If your planning on SLI'ing/expanding your build, I would definitely get atleast a good 800-850w PSU(give you some wiggle room to OC/tweak your rig).But if your not planning on expanding your build then any good 550-650w PSU will be fine.

Thanks! I may go with the bigger power supply because I might in time get the 2nd video card.

Is there any thing else someone would change on this build. Will this case support a SSD?
 
Yeah, coolermasters have plenty of space between the side panel and motherboard slate.

I might change out the motherboard. I'm not too clear on the advantages of a good motherboard, but it seems to me some of the features would be useless to the average builder.

And since you're using the new 7xxx series, I would look for a motherboard with PCI 3.0 slots.

1st)The ASUS Z68-V, for what you get for the money. Longevity and durability, GIGABYTE.
