Hi all!
I just wanted to make sure I didn't make any incompatibility errors in my choices for my new home-build. Thanks for all your advice, and please give your criticism freely!
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: In the next few days!
BUDGET RANGE: Around $1000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming and home theatre
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com
OVERCLOCKING: Yes
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe in the future
The build:
CPU: AMD Phenom II 955 BE
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-790XTA-UD4
RAM: OCZ Platinum 4gb DDR3 1333
GPU: HIS H577FM1GD Radeon HD 5770 1GB
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX

Questions for the gurus:
- Will the Arctic Freezer 64 Pro fit into my AM3 MOBO?
- Is the 650TX enough for me if I decide to set up dual GPUs in the future?
- Should I worry about purchasing extra cables to put my build together?
- Any build suggestions?? All are appreciated! Thanks!
