(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi guys over the last few days I've been looking into what hardware I would like for a PC that will be used for gaming and watching 1080p films etc so far here's what I've got.

Motherboard: £187.19 ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 Intel Z77 Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard

Processor:£209.99 BX80623I72600K - Intel Core i7 2600K Unlocked S1155, Sandy Bridge, Quad, 3.4GHz, HD3000 IGP 850Mhz, 8MB Cache 95W Retail

Hard Drive: £91.32 WD 1TB Caviar Black Performance Hard Drive 7200rpm 64MB Cache

Video Card: £274.54 FX-787A-CNFC - 2GB XFX Radeon HD 7870 Core Edition, 4800MHz GDDR5, 28nm, GPU 1000MHz, 1280 Cores, DL DVI/HDMI/mDP

For the most part I'm happy and I think everything is compatible but am slightly concerned about the motherboard which does not say if it supports AMD Eyefinity because ideally I would like to have three monitors for this build,for multitasking and being able to game on one or all three at the same time. So if anyone could confirm for me that this motherboard is good or if not recommend at better alternative. also the motherboard should support Dual Channel DDR3 RAM.

Another concern of mine is the powersupply I know that to support the GPU it needs to be atlease 600W but I'm not sure which PSU to go with, recommendations appreciated.

Lastly please look over the build and see if there are any glaring problems.

Thanks in advance.
