Critique My ~$1000 Gaming Build

[Wingmn]

Hi,

Please take a look:

CPU: i5-760
GPU: HIS HD 6850
MOBO: ASRock P55 (it has USB3 and SATA 6GB/s)
RAM: Corsair XMS3 2x2GB
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W
HDD: Generic 1TB
OPTICAL: Generic DVD writer
CASE: Antec Thre Hundred Illusion

I can purchase all of the parts for $928.52 before shipping and tax from newegg.ca.

I'm pretty new to this so please don't skimp on details in your responses.

Thank you for your time.

overall not bad. You might be able to save some money with combos, and G.Skill RAM over the Corsair (Cheaper, still good quality)

for the HDD get the Samsung Spinpoint F3, not just a 'generic' one.

the 750W is a good PSU if you plan to do overclocking and/or Crossfire. If you're sticking to the single 6850, you'll be fine with a 600W
