Hey,
I'm building an i7 based computer, really only for running FSX. Could you guys look over the parts and make sure they're all compatible?

(in-store only, so you might have to select a location to see it)
I'm using the stock i7 heatsink/fan.
I don't need to buy a monitor, mouse, keyboard, or OS. Is there anything else I'm forgetting?
The CPU, GPU and MOBO are pretty much set in stone for me, the only thing I'm worried about is if the case is good enough for the i7(I'm not OCing), if the PSU is good enough, and if the memory is good enough.
The total comes out to under $850, which is perfect for me. If something other than the GPU, CPU, or MOBO is incompatible or isn't of good enough quality, I could probably spend up to $925.
Thanks in advance,
