Hi everyone, first I'd just like to say this website and forum has been very helpful.

Im building my 2nd gaming pc, it's been about 6 years so heh.. Ive spent the last few days putting it together and finding the best prices etc..

Anyways, this is what I have chosen, if anyone has some input, especially regarding mobo compatability with everyhting else... i'm shady with power supplies as well.

Tell me how it looks!

BFG GeForce GTX 280 Video Card - OC Edition
OCZ Reaper 2 x 2 GB DDR2 1066 mhz
WD Velociraptor 10k RPM 150 GB (just for boot and games)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33 mhz
EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

And 2 PSU to choose from:
Antec TPQ-850 850W ATX12V / EPS12V
PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C EPS12V


Cooler Master HAF 932

System looks good. Are you going to OC at all? Get an after market cooler if you do.

Oh just noticed something the PC P&C won't work, since the BFG 280 requires 6pin and 8 pin PCIe. Connectors. The TPQ 850 does have 8 pin PCIe.
