looks good, but personaly i would have gotten a larger PSU my self.
750W gold rated.
but if cash is limited i guess that PSU will work. ( no guarantee from my side )

Actually i build this on a limited budget. maybe for next upgrade i'll look into it. but up untill now it works fine. finished playing bf4 campaign on ultra with no OC.

btw, is there any chance that psu can cause some kind of horizontal line interference on the screen? it starts when i first run this rig with GTX 650 ti. when i switch to this new gpu it still there. got any ideas why?

any help would be appreciated. thanks.

try and switch out the cable and see if that works, and make shure the plugs are 100% secure on GPU and monitor.

Check your cable and maybe have someone bring a notebook or laptop round and see if your monitor is the cause of that line.

Already switch the cables ( power & vga ) yet the line is still there. All the cables have been plugged in tight and secure. Ive tested with my friend's monitor, it work just fine. Ive watched a video on youtube and some of them reccomend to switch the vga-dvi adapter to vga-hdmi converter. But not yet tried.

dvi-hdmi adapter.
vga is the old connector type.

try what hiviz said and see if its the same happens then.

If you tested with a friends monitor and it works just fine then it is not your hardware but the connectors/adaptors or the screen itself.
