Sell the 560! The GTX480 is more powerful and the new build could use the GTX580 and another one down the road. Just a warning if you do not already have it the TT PSU is not the best choice! http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.p [...] 5&reid=243

Well the GTX 580 would be better than the 480, because overall performance is better. and just do like he said, get another down the road. and yes tt isnt best for psu's in the world. they are ok but i recommend corsair
