    Avoid komplett - used to be good back in the day, is now complete crap. All you need to do is look at the komplett forum on boards to see that... http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=242

    You could end up waiting a long time for your parts if you do use them...

    For the GTX 460 - get the 1Gb OC version from pixmania - it's 44% off at the moment, just ordered one myself. down from €260 to around €145... http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/6389292/art/pny/geforce-gtx-460-oc-1-gb-g.html

    As for power supplies, generally anything corsair is rock solid...

    I've not had issues ever before with either of them but both can be bad if you read the threads about them.

    As stated above Corsair are good and Antec true-power are also decent enough.

    You should read the last few pages of http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055278463 to give you a few more choces of what to get and keep the costs down.

    So do you guys think this is a good build for high requirement games such as crysis? I need a machine that can handle games like that.
