This is my first time putting together a computer, I've done a bit of research and I think everything should work together fine, but I'm not sure. I would like an experienced opinion on whether this computer will work well (and god forbid not work at all). Sorry for the annoying links, I couldn't get the newegg wishlist to go public. All the prices are in Canadian, so if they look expensive to you, that's why. its about 1500 before shipping and taxes and 1800 afterwords. Just want to know if it's good like this, or if there's any better parts (for about the same or cheaper price) that I should be getting instead. Thanks in advance.

Imo this is a MUCH nicer case :

Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811133056

You can get the i7 920 for much less on other websites....

The hard-drive you choose is not considered a smart buy... Get this instead :

Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136319

other than that it is a sweet build.....
