I am attempting to build my own PC for the first time and I think I have found some good quality components, but I would like a second opinion on them.
I am going to purchasing all of the components from newegg.com. The only things that I am worried about is static, but I solved that with an antistatic wristband and the other is getting a component that doesn't work, not being able to figure out which one it is and if I do figure out what it is, then how to return it. I have never had to return something I have bought from the internet and I have no idea how to file a RMA. Well, even with my worries I've decided that I will build the computer and these are my component selections.
Case: Cooler Master HAF X
Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+
Videocard: Powercolor Radeon HD 6870 (When I have extra money I plan to buy another and Crossfire)
Power Supply: CORSAIR Professional Series HX850 (850 watts)
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T (I will probably be making this purchase after Bulldozer is released and will buy one of those)
Memory: CORSAIR Vengence 8GB (2X4gb) DDR3 1600
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm
ODD: ASUS bulk dvd burner
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium OEM (does OEM come with a product key?)
Cooler: CORSAIR H100 Liquid Cooling
I would like to know if these are quality components and if they would all work together. Do SATA power cables come with the psu and do SATA data cables come with mobo? Can someone explain to me the entire process of getting a DOA component and then getting an rma and returning it? This will be my first build and could someone direct me to a good tutorial explaining how to assemble and how to install windows and drivers? I am also getting a mobo power cable extender because I have heard that people with the HAF X haven't been able to route the mobo power cable through the back. Any advice you can give to a first time builder that you wish you had when you built your first pc would be invaluable to me.
