[WTA] Opinions on gaming desktop build

Hi

My desktop finally gave up on me so I am taking this chance to upgrade a few parts. The now non-functioning desktop is running on C2Q(??cant remember??) with 4GB of DDR2 goodness.

For the new desktop, I would like to use the PSU(Silverstone Strider 550W) and GPU (Sapphire HD 5870) and these 2 seems to be doing great so far. Below is the current setup suggestion with RM2400 for budget.

Usage = Gaming and Video rendering

CPU: I5 3750 = RM645
MOBO: Asrock H77 Pro4 = RM349
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 4Gx2 = RM199
SSD: Intel SSD 330 500 450 6GB/ps 120GB RM355
HDD: WD 3TB = RM489
Casing: CM HAF 912 Advanced = RM285

GPU(carry forward)
PSU(carry forward)

Total = RM 2322

I know I can get it cheaper other than the price where I base my spec (PCZONE) but currently its the only price list with Asrock in it.

Please advice and thanks.

Hi. I could use some recommendation for my desktop. my budget is around 2k, and I'm aiming for a gaming type.

My HDD is more than sufficient so no need to include that.
Same goes for DVD drive and casing.
My PSU is Silverstone Strider SST-ST56F 560W.. Im guessing it's sufficient for the spec you guys would recommend.
Though im open to suggestions!
