Hey Guys, I'm building a new desktop and I think I've done all my research, but I'd like some input as to how nicely everything is going to play together.

Please let me know if the mobo, gpu, cpu and ram I have selected are compatible, thank you very much in advance!

everything looks good, but can i ask why you are going nvidia?

right now it would make much more sense to get a 5xxx series video card from ati. you can get better performance for less, and be more futureproofed.

right now, 5xxx series cards are the best option.

get one of those for the same price. right now the performance is about the same, but the 5 series will get better over time as drivers improve. plus you are futureproofed for DX11, which will further improve performance allowing for even better framerates.
