First Time Build -Updated

[Realism]

Alright this is the first time I have built a computer. I have been reading some tutorials and things like that off this site. Any ways I have compiled a list of parts. If any of you guys could take a quick look through it and see if the parts are compatible with each other that would be awesome. Also feel free to offer advice/part suggestions. I would like to keep it under $1,000.

Go with this Mobo:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128359

Do not get a Raidmax PSU. Look at this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005&Tpk=650tx

You can do a lot better for the money on the case:

Better CPU cooler:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233029&Tpk=S1283v

I would get the 1tb Caviar black drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284

And that ram that you accidently linked as the HDD is good

What OS are you going to use? Vista 64bit I hope. If you don't have one get this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116488

Great CPU. Make those changes and you are ready to go I think. Remember to get a Dvd drive if you don't have one.

I'd change the MB to GA-EP45-UD3R. Maybe even GA-Ep45-UD3P, but it's overkill with an nVidia card.

Change the PSU to a Corsair 650TX or 750TX.

SH-S223F is a decent burner.


Edit: LOL, I hadn't seen the above post, great minds think alike

Awesome advice, thanks. I updated every thing and fixed the hard drive.

Those look like good initial choices and excellent suggestions. Good luck with the build.

Most all DVD burners are the same. Here is one that will do just fine for you.
