So I've decided to build a computer instead of just buying one this time. But are these parts all going to work together? and will they last? Please note I'm trying to stay in the $750-850 range.

Here's what i got:
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144103
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128358
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037
Graphic Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130339
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145214
HD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136320

Thank you for the replies.

okay a few things i would change

HD - if you're gonna go for the AALS model, might as well spend 10$ more to get the 640gb over the 500gb

WD AALS 640gb 79.99$

if not, and you're okay with the 16mb cache version, you can get the AAKS 750gb for 74.99$

RAM
are you going to OC your CPU? and how far? if you're gonna take it around the 400fsb range, i would advise you get these rams

G.Skill PI Black 2x2gb 4-4-4-12 1.8-1.9v
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231209

10$ more but lower voltage and better timings

so now u spent a few more bucks on the other parts, get this PSU to even things out. it's a great one as you don't need a 750w for your system.

PSU - PC & Cooling 610w 69.99 after rebate

PC and Power Cooling has been known to make some of the best power supplys in the business. If you read the whole thing, those last few are the only ones returned as non-working and the reviews are nearly all 5 star, until recently. It does make me wonder if PC and Power Cooling is starting to let quality control go down hill?
