Ok,

So my old desktop finally gave up the ghost and has gone to the big scrapyard in the sky.

I have a pretty easy question for anyone who is more technically minded than I am - which I imagine to be everyone on this forum. :)

I have just paid £750 of my hard earned cash for a computer with the following specs and need to know that I wont have to upgrade to play my beloved Eve for a long time yet!

Can you see anything that I should improve on?

I will be keeping my old screen along with my wireless keyboard and mouse.

System Case
1 Coolermaster Elite 430 Black & Corsair 500W PSU

Motherboard
1 Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H, Intel Z77 Chipset

CPU
1 Intel Core i5 3570K, Ivy Bridge, 3.4GHz, Quad Core, 6MB Cache

Memory - DDR3
1 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance - 1600MHz

Gaming Graphics Cards
1 1GB MSI GTX 560 Ti, 384 Cores, 880MHz, 4200MHz GDDR5

Sound Card
1 Asus Xonar DG 5.1 PCI Gaming Sound Card & Headphone Ampifier

System Drive
1 1TB Seagate Barracuda, SATA6, 7200rpm, 64Mb Cache

Optical Drive
1 Samsung SH-S222AB/BEBE - 22x DVD Writer

Operating System
1 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

Thanks in advance for any useful advice or criticism.

Looks pretty good to be honest, an SSD for your windows boot files and maybe to start eve or whatever you use a lot Smile

Maybe a Blu ray combo drive instead of a DVD drive, I was writing that the PSU would be to low then I realised its a corsair so your grand, however it leaves not much room for upgrading, only your VGA uses 350W I would personally not go with anything below 600W with your system.

Cheers to ya mate. As long as it works out of the box I can always worry about upgrading later!
