Hi everyone, I'm planning on building my first gaming pc and I can
use some help on seeing if these parts all work properly.

Here are the parts:
Antec Nine Hundred ATX midtower

ASUS P6X58D Premium

Intel i7-920 2.66ghz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131614

Rosewill 750w psu

Sapphire Toxic ATI radeon HD 5850

Asus DVD burner

G Skill 6gb 1600 ddr3 ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231335

WD Velociraptor 300gb 10k rpm

and thats basically it can guys tell me anything i need to add or take out?
 
Solution
For gaming the older Velociraptors don't provide any benefit over modern 7200 drives. So I would suggest you save yourself some money and get one of the 1TB performance drives from Samsung, Seagate or WD.

Personally I would not go for a Rosewill PSU, you only need a good 650W PSU to power two 5850s, so for that I would recommend this: Corsair TX650 $89 ($10 rebate, $5.99 shipping).
