Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

The parts are compatible, but I suggest your change the PSU for a better one and wait for BD release, build a new rig now isn't the best option.

The PSU can be HX, TX or AX series from Corsair or XFX than are very good too.

 

[remzilla]

can you recommend a decent psu for a decent price thats compatible? i cant find any most of them are too expensive

 

[saint19]

What budget max?

 

[remzilla]

no more than $70

 

[remzilla]

^^$70 for the psu

Here are two options:

1- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371044
2- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013

A little more expensive option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207014

im gonna be going with 2- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817207013

also is this setup ok for eyefinity will it be able to work on all 3 screens at once and can it play new and upcoming games such as call of duty modern warfare 3, and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm in High resolution?

 

[saint19]

I'd go with a X4 955, or wait for BD.

 

[shanky887614]

by bd he means bulldozer,

besides when bulldozer is released the price should drop for older components

 

[remzilla]

when does bd release?

The new AMDs CPU generation.
