First Time Builder

[kstipe407]

I am working on putting together my first computer and want to make sure that before I purchase the parts that I am making the right decisions and everything will be compatible. I have done a lot of research and this is what I have come up with.

Intel i5-760 Lynnfield CPU
Asus P7P55D-E SATA 6 GB/s Motherboard
WD WD1002FAEX 1 TB SATA 6 GB/s 7200 RPM Harddrive
Corsair XMS3 2x2GB DDRS 240pin PC3 12800 RAM
Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W Power Supply
Asus DRW-24BIST CD/DVD Burner
XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card

Still looking for a case so if you have any recommendations that would be great.

Not looking to build a gaming computer but more of a Home Office/Home Theater Computer.

Thanks

Looks like a well-balanced build. Here are some cases available at newegg - reasonably priced and with good reviews.

Actually, treefrog07, I have to disagree with you on "well-balance build". The OP is building a Home Office/Home Theater computer with an i5-760, ATI 5670 and Corsair 650TX!! Not balanced.

The OP would be much better served going with an AM3 Athlon II X3 440, an AMD 870 AM3 M-ATX (ASUS or Gigabyte) and a nice CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W to go along with any of the cases you listed.
