Hi guys,

I'm putting together a computer and for the most part have no clue what I'm doing, so I thought I'd get you dear fellows to have a butchers at it.

The build I'm currently thinking of is as follows

 

GPU: Radeon 7870

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz

RAM: 2xCorsair Vengeance 1600MHz CL8 DDR3

Motherboard: Intel DX79TO

SSD: A-Data 500 S510 120GB

Hard-drive: Seagate SV35.5 ST2000VX000 64MB 2TB

Wireless Adaptor: TP-Link TL-WN881ND

PSU: Corsair CMPSU-650HX 650W

(I haven't listed the case, monitor, dvd drive or mouse/keyboard)

 

Is there any fundamental flaw in this build or any significant component that I'm missing? Is the power supply adequate for what I want?

Not a flaw, just an advice: if your case hasn't a built-in fan, add one, you'll extend the life of your system keeping it cooler.
Also: wear only cotton (or linen or other vegetable fibre) clothes, NO animal (wool, silk) or synthetic fibres, when you assemble it, to avoid accumulating electrostatic charges.
