Funconal and compatible build?

[zippy55]

Hi, i was wondering if this build will be functional with all these components and if theyll all be compatible:

Processor: Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz $208.99

Storage: Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
AND Rosewill RX-C200P 2.5" SSD / HDD Plastic Mounting Kit for 3.5" Drive Bay $129.99

Case: Rosewill CRUISER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Panel Window and Four Fans
Combo'd with
Power Supply: Rosewill BRONZE Series RBR1000-M 1000W Continuous@40°C, 80Plus Bronze Certified,Modular Cable Design,ATX12V v2.3/ EPS12V,SLI Ready,CrossFire Ready,Active PFC"Compatible with Core i7, i5" Power Supply $194.98 FOR BOTH

MotherBoard: GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Combo'd with
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL FOR BOTH $233.98

Optical Drive: ASUS DVD-Writer Black SATA Model DRW-24B3LT/BLK/G/AS $24.99

Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE 100314-2SR Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity $179.99

So it totals up to about 1170 $ with all my shipping etc, so i was wondering a few things: 1. is it all compatible? 2. Do i need any extra fans? there are some with the case right? 3. Other than a HDD or a bigger storage, what else am i missing to have a decent computer? 4. finally, is it bad if lets say, it ends up using 650 watts and i have the 1000 watt power source? is there like a wasted energy? 5. and personally what would YOU yourself add or change?
I'll appreciate any comments, thank you

1) They are compatible.

2) No, the case has enough fans to keep things cool, you will not need extra fans.

3) As long as you have a monitor, keyboard and a mouse you are all set. Although I would add a traditional HDD as well.
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB at $74.99 is a good choice.

4) It's not wasted energy, your PSU will only draw power from the grid for the amount it needs. That setup will probably draw about 350W tops so the 1000W PSU is overkill even if you Add a 2nd graphics card.

5) I would consider a good 750W PSU instead from Antec, Corsair, Seasonic or XFX.
Corsair TX750 V2 80+Bronze $109.99
Corsair HX750 80+Silver $159.99 for a semi modular one
Seasonic X750 80+Gold $169.99 for a fully modular one

Will still let you crossfire your 6870, and generally all of them are better than the rosewill.

Also the 16GB of ram is such overkill, but it's not a bad deal with the motherboard. So it's not too bad and memory is cheap these days.
8GB would work out just as good for you though.

I agree, the weak part of the build is the Rose"will fail" PSU.

Also agree you will need a mechanical HDD in the build. the Samsung is a good choice.

another good PSU
SILVERSTONE ST75F-P 750W ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS 12V 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply $130

If i replace the parts in this my build with the ones in the combo and keep the ones the combo dont have, what will i be missing out on in terms of like what i give up, and is this combo worth it if its saving me 300 dollars? or are the 300 dollars im paying for my items in the original build worth keeping? heres the combo http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.679763

ALSO i switched the power supply to the seasonic x750 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087

I think you are much better off selecting the quality parts you have in the regular build, instead of the combo.
