Hi, this is my final system build i hope as i have redone it heaps of times.

CPU: i7 920
MOBO: EVGA X58
GFX: Leadtek winfast GTX280
RAM:Team Xtreem Dark 6GB (3x 2GB) DDR3-1333/PC3-10600 Memory Kit, 7-7-7-21-2T, 1.60v, Aluminium Heatsink
PSU: Cooler Master Real Power M850W,
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST3500320AS, 500GB, SATA II, 32MB Cache, 7200RPM, 8.5ms Read
THERMAL PASTE: Arctic Silver 5 Compound 12g
CPU COOLER:Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366 RT
DVD: LG 22x DVD Burner, SATA, Black, OEM
CASE:Cooler Master HAF RC 932

What do u think, missed anything?
Running with vista home premium 64bit.

Do you think the GFX Card is alright, good brand?
PSU is it suitable to this system?, i may go SLI in the future.

Do i need thermal paste?

Do you think this will run games like crysis and farcry2, and TES 5, DEUS EX 3 in the future?
 
Cooler Master Real Power would not be good, although 850W is OK for SLI.
Look for the new Corsair 850W. Antec TPQ 850 is OK too.

I'm not familiar with the memory brand. Generally at 1333 you would want to shoot for 1.5V, but since the timings are so tight I would guess the specs are OK.

Yes it will run anything.

I can add that you'll love that case. It's cavernous and very easy to work with. As Proximon mentioned, never heard of that memory brand....

not a major brand but would do the job EVGA xfx ect would be good, BTW the GTX285 is out i think it uses 55nm technology and is suppose to be similar price nvidia claims a 10% preformance increase
