its all compatible but you should swap the samsung HD for a 6gbps 1 terabyte hitatchi deskstar it costs about the same but allows you to have 2x the speed of the one you chose for the same price.

for graphics, this sapphire 6970 is an overall better card with a more solid
reputation.

as for your power supply i would spend the extra and get this 550-650watt PLATINUM 80 plus power supply its the best there is.

everything else is great,

Are there any extra cables I would need to buy separately?

 

[samrialj]

sorry i didn't respond sooner please forgive me. i have used that GIGABYTE motherboard before and it came with a SATA cable for every SATA it had. so the motherboard will come with SATA cables to connect CD/DVD drives hard drives and other SATA devices.

I was just thinking I might get an extra 6970 later, would my power supply still be good or should I get a 750w just in case?

You will enough of power since that SeaSonic will provide over the specified wattage. 6970s in SLi can consume 500W max so the rest of your system is about 150W. It would be cutting it close if that wasn't such a great PSU.

What resolution are you gaming at? For a single 1080p monitor a GTX 570 is cheaper and just as fast as the 6970

That Samsung H/D is quicker than that Hitatchi Deathstar, and 3gbps isn't even used to capacity let alone 6. It's a marketing ploy. Also 6970's Crossfired require a min. 750w psu not to mention that Kingwin 550w psu for $160 is nothing short of a bad joke. Now please stop giving bad advice on here. Find another forum to troll until you learn what's what.
