$700 Gaming PC, everything compatible?

[Diskd]

Hey all, I am a noob to this stuff, but was directed here to help in building my first PC. I'm building this to game on for the next few years. I don't play the most demanding games, mainly SC2 at the moment (I don't care whether its on Ultra setting or not).

My price point is around $700 but it's a little flexible. I'm posting here to make sure everything is compatible. Any other suggestions or tips would be great. Thanks!

Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next week

Budget Range: Around $700 without Windows included

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming > Music = Internet = Work

Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Monitor, Mouse

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg

Country of Origin: US

Parts Preferences: None?

Overclocking: Maybe (once I get to that point)

SLI or Crossfire: Same as above?

Monitor Resolution: Purchasing a new one

Additional Comments: OS: Windows 7 Premium 64 bit.

This is running me $680 (without Windows included) with all the promotions and discounts. Seems like an ok PC?

Thank you again!

ok dude dont get that processor for that price either pay 10 dollars more and get an unlocked hexacore or get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808 and save yourself 40 bucks which can go to you getting a 5870 which is a better card than a 6850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150476

I heard that getting hexacores aren't worth it right now?

Also, if I were switching to:
XFX HD-587X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5870 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ955FBGMBOX

Will run me about $10 less - but won't I need a lot better of a power supply... Atleast a 750W?

Overall with those switches is that a better setup?

Shameless self bump, any suggestions are very much appreciated!!!!

600w is plenty to power a 5870 =] Although, maybe a better brand would be nice like an antec or corsair etc...

bump because i really wanna pull the trigger on the order tonight

so we're all in agreement the alternate set up is better than the original proposed?
