Hi there,
I'm looking at getting a new computer built and have selected what I think might work for it. I'm just looking for some advice on 1) if some components could be switched out for better ones around the same price point (or less), and 2) if it should all work well together. Oh, and will this current setup be able to run HD through my tv?
Any input would be appreciated.

Again, any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

newegg.ca links aren't working properly in most browsers. Just write them in w/o the hyperlinks(so take away the "http://www" portion). This way we can copy paste them into our browser

Also, fill out form in sticky, link in my sig.

Sorry, let me fix that.

First off, the computer will be used most for gaming, some audio recording as well. Budget is around 800-1000.. preferable on the lower end of that if possible, without sacrificing too much power. Won't need any of the drives (CD-RW and such), but a suggestion for a good wireless mouse/keyboard combo would be appreciated. I was trying to stick with the Gigabyte Mobo as I've read good things about it. I will be overclocking it, and have no interest in Crossfire/SLI.

Here are the amended links:

Case wise, you're better off getting an Antec 300 illusion $70 free ship
and an OCZ modxstram 500w $70 w/ $20 MIR. Same price, but a better case and equivalent PSU.

You should switch HD to a SpinPoint f3. Better drive AND cheaper. $80 for 1TB, $60 for 500gb.

Rest looks fine.

Shouldn't use wireless for gaming. I don't recommend them cuz I haven't found one yet I like. Eithers there lag, occasional missed keys, or I have to change batteries too often.
