Hi, I'm new to this website. I have been out of computer modding for about 3 or 4 years, and my computer which I purchased in 2001, well to say the least its time for a new one. Thats why I'm here! I've dissassembled and put computer parts together and stuff but this will be my first actual build from the ground up with all new parts. I work at McDonalds so I have a limited budget so I'm putting together a 'budget' i7 system, not trying to go crazy with money but want a pc that will last me for along while. But if you guys could be my doublecheckers to make sure I'm heading in the right direction with this build making sure everything is compatible that would be awesome!
Computer Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 (wanted a case with a window, i'm gonna add some blue led's inside) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119077
Motherboard: EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 (Good price for the feature, 'dummy OC' has been getting great reviews, i will most likely use this feature since I don't know alot about OC)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188049
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 Nahelem (from what I understand it's pointless to get the 950 or the 975 since the 920 can be easily overclocked, but also could someone help me find out if the i7 processors from newegg have the D0 stepping I understand those versions stay cooler and I can't figure out if that is the version newegg is selling)
RAM: Crucial 6GB (3x2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1066 (From what I understand very good ram for the price)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148246
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 4890 ( I wanna spend decent money on a GPU, Have always been an ATI fan over nVidia for some reason)
PowerSupply: Rosewill Xtreme Series RX750-D-B 750W (Plenty of cables, I don't really need much help on the power supply other than how many watts will this system be using and is this PSU sufficient enough?)

The rest of the stuff DVD burners, etc. I can handle... any help would be nice thanks...
