MoBo - Check whether this MoBo can not use twin video cards at x 16 x 16 ..... newgg spec say only x16/x8/x4/x8 .... Think about whether you ant USB 3 and SATA III as in ASUS P6X58D Premium

Memory - consider whether DDR1600 CAS 5 ($229) or 7 ($179) fits your budget.

Ok so I'm going with the PSU and Case combo that you suggested and the motherboard you suggested.

Case, PSU Combo

Motherboard

I want this CPU cooler

But I'm THINKING of holding off to see if I even need to use it? Or are you saying that it's a fact I'm going to need to use it? Even if I DO use it Will it fit in my case? That cooler looks like a biggie and wondering it will fit (even though my case is a biggie too.)

I'm also changing my hard drive from my original http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... To http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


Now I got another question.... The Motherboard has a SATA 6gb/s and the Hard drive is 3gb/s does that matter compatible wise? I know that might be a dumb question but I wanted to ask it. Or does that mean since the hard drive is only 3gb/s the 3gb/s extra from the motherboard just won't be used....?


I also decided with this ram for the new parts.

any question on the ram choice?

Thanks A LOT for responding and helping me.

Going to buy the parts tomorrow. Hopefully it's a good setup. Thanks for the help.


My only concern is if I have enough wattage on a 850W PSU with this build.....
