Will this build work/tips for lowering the price

[ATLmember]

I'm building a computer for the first time and could use some advice on my build, specifically on the motherboard. My graphics card is PCI Express 2.1 x 16, but all the motherboards I've found have PCI Express 2.0 x 16 sockets, does that matter? Also, I want to make sure the parts fit in my case, and will all work with a 64 bit OS. Will this build work? Thanks

Here is the build:

Triple channel wont work on with that mobo and CPU, go 4gb or 8gb dual channel. Also 500W is plenty for that build. See if you have an old HDD lying around too, the current situation means hard drives are ridiculously expensive, over here a 3TB drive is equivalent to $1000 (£600) lol.

Thanks for the advice, I would have missed that. I'd like to get a PSU that would be capable of crossfire in the future, do you think this PSU could handle it, or would I need more?

What jmsellars said... What country are you from? $99.99 is WAaaay too much for a 500GB HDD. 4 or 8 Gig of dual channel DDR3 RAM, and you are using the wireless card to link to the internet?...How?
Can't comment on the GPU. I'm a pretty hard core Nvidia fan. But The Radeons might show some hope.

I wouldn't bother with crossfire unless you plan to do it within 6 months. You would need a minimum of 650W for it.

There were some floods in Thailand where like 50% of the worlds hard drives are made and thousands of factories are down, they are in seriously short supply everywhere.

I'm in the United State's, I think someone explained why HDDs cost a fortune, which kind of sucks since I don't have any desktop HDDs lying around. Why am I using a wireless card to connect to the internet? Because I don't have an easy way to plug in from my desk.

Build looks OK then! I own a 2400 on a Gigabyte H67M MoBo, 4 GB RAM nd it runs NICE!
Using an Antec EA-650 which I had and an EVGA 460SE.
