First rig, need help

[sparith]

I plan on using this setup for games/movies/music and all around multipurpose use. I'd like the build to be overclock friendly across the board with the possibility of SLI in the future.

I've added/changed some components on a pc before but never a motherboard/cpu or assembly from scratch so if someone could post a newbie friendly guide for it I'd be grateful.

Now bundle / combo your mobo with your cpu, and bundle the antec psu with windows. That should have you like $30 right there. Oh and the gtx 560 is out since yesterday and it's on newegg for $250 give or take a dollar. Your build looks good

Changed the PSU to a similar Corsair version. Ty for mentioning the PSU/OS bundle I missed that one

Will have to start buying some components tonight, any more advice will be greatly appreciated.

 

[amoghthegamer]

might I recommend a Caviar Black instead? I had 2 Samsung F3's go bad on me. My 3rd on is working nicely

SSD's are nice and all, but I would probably wait until prices come down if you're considering getting one. just a suggestion

Since sandybridge has been pushed back I've decided to wait it out and slightly upgrade a few components, mainly the PSU with the SLI of 2 GTX560 TI being alot more likely then before. Question is will a 750w psu be enough to run that setup comfortably with room for future additions and even being moved to newer more powerful builds, or should I be looking at a 850w.

I used this site to try and give me a reference but not sure how accurate it is. It said I needed a minimum of 630.
