Opinions wanted on build.

[Jim1]

Howdy.
I've been trawling the internet for advice on building a new computer, and with a budget of £700, have been given this.
I generally just play your standard video games, and want a system that'll let me play Portal 2 now, and ME3 when it comes out.
I was just wondering if any of you wise wise people, think that anything could be done better, if my computer will implode etc.
Debate, argue, please, I beg you.

Case: Cooler Master CM-690 II (£56.99)
Motherboard: MSI P67A-G45 (£99.98)
Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K OEM (£149.99)

Soundcard isnt needed and is really just a waste. Besides that looks fine.

You may want to consider something other than OCZ ram. Just remember to stick with the DDR3 voltage standard of 1.5V.

The build looks pretty decent overall, but I have a few suggestions:
- Agree with blackmage about the OCZ RAM. It's so bad that OCZ doesn't even make RAM anymore. Grab this G.Skill instead.
- Sound card is a bit of a waste
- The PSU is OK, but not the best. The Antec HCG 620 is on special right now, so that'd be my choice. If you wait a week and the 620 isn't on special anymore, get the 520 instead.
- The excellent Samsung F3 1TB is on sale this week, so I'd grab that over the WD Blue.

Glad that card in OP is actually the GTX560Ti (not the recently released, confusingly suffix-free GTX560).
