Thank you :D

I am not sure about the GTX 680, because in the Forum there is often the GTX 670 mentioned, but the difference between these cards is only the clock speed, is that right? So ML this card should be good to go.
 
Yes, under ML 10.8 the card is good to go.
 
I am looking at almost exactly this build myself. The shop has two gtx 680 models, the OC and the SOC. Are they the same as regular 680s in terms of verified working or would the over clocking muck things up?

The overclocked models should work just as well as the standard model.
 
Thanks for that, mate. The parts should come in next week.

My build is

i7k
gb ud5h (up5th too hard to get)
2x 240gb ssd
1tb hdd
gtx 680 oc or soc
generic the rest

i did ask for 800w + psu because a long time ago i did blow 1 doing 3d modelling but i'm trying to conform as completely as locally possible to tony's build guides.

any advice, comments very welcome.

expect heaps of panic posts from me later.

Looks OK to me. For the power supply, google for psu calculator. There are lots of sights (newegg is one) where they have a form - you just select from a dropdown or fill in the box with your hardware and it will suggest a psu size.
