New build need advice on the parts! :)

Ur rig seems have quite a lot of fat:

1. since ur CPU couldn't OC, just buy a 130-ish mobo if u wanna do SLI in the futur

2. 250GB HDD is quite scarce today, for 10 more dollars ucould get a 1TB HDD to store games

3. It's strange that u spend 120 bucks on just a fancy case but 30 on a not-so-good PSU, and wanna do SLI in the futur ?!

How about this?

Like ALMOST ALL noobs you're depending on the knowledge of others to skate through the tough spots. LEARN by reading, doing your OWN research... that means each component part starting with the PSU. You can fry $1200 in parts by overworking a $30 unit.... You MAY also learn the most expensive CPU isn't really the right one for you... same with the board, etc. Ok, so you're in a hurry... can't fault you for that. At one time or another almost all of us were in that situation but we learned through sometimes expensive mistakes. So.. take the advice given here.... then start reading so you can decide for your self... later you may start answering advice queries. Educate yourself first. Learn where to spend to get the biggest bang for your buck... always with an eye on upgrades... price/performance ratio... starting with the PSU. Get a certified unit that is properly sized for your needs now with an eye to the future. It'll last longer and lower your contribution to the power companies already fat wallets. (I didn't read your build specifics). If you don't need 1200W, don't buy it. The reviewers use them as a means of eliminating any possibility of skewing the results... that, and they're provided for free.. unless you anticipate a triple/quad SLI/Crossfire rig in the near future, which you can't do on 1,200.... and ALWAYS buy quality.

The mere fact that you are interested in building your own rig illustrates that you are already aware that most off-the shelf units (big box stores) aren't what you want. I can also understand that you don't want to pay for a niche market build that can go WAY over the top on price. So, start reading. NOW.

There are times most of us here (I am by NO MEANS in the same league as the top responders, but, I am aware that many of them may not answer because it's the same-old-same-old) wish that new posters would have to read something like this before posting. I mean, who really READS a EULA agreement? The more you educate yourself the happier you will be in the long run... and the less likely you will be to whack yourself in the forehead with an "OH, DAMN!! I wish I'd known that sooner." And that's basically what a lot of these guys are trying to teach others like you. I am not coming down on your case. We were all there at some point. I "got in" when memory was DDR(1) transitioning to DDR2, dual cores were the new wave, and if you had money to blow there were a few quads around. IDE was predominant while SATA 1.5 was the new thing... some had SATAII and there was this thing called a Floppy. AGP was still going strong and PCIex16 was just about cutting edge. BluRay? what's that? How about RDRAM... USB(1) was new... getting the picture? Yes, it IS a new day today... and a lot less demanding in the way of... making that decision on a graphics card. SSD's were barely around and, if you'll check out the history.. no one was really sure if they'd work or not or how long they'd last. Count your blessings.. educate.

I hope this help PAST this build and into your future.
