If this build is for gaming switch the i7 to the i5 2500k

get the Samsung F3 HDD

Use the M4 Crucial SSD

You dont need a sound card a good sounds system will do

You dont need 16 GB RAM (unless you are doing hardcore visual effects take it down to 8GB for gaming dual channel)

Go with the GTX 580 with the money saved if you are taking my advice

Unless you are really into water cooling I would go with the Hyper 212 + for CPU cooling

It appears that he built it for non gaming purposes. If not then +1 to the above suggestions. In terms of compatibility everything would work together.

850 watts is overkill for one gtx 560 ti, I assume you may be sli-ing down the road? If that is so perhaps it is a gaming rig.

yeah kinda hard to tell with the little info he gave us I hate when the stickies arent read, it would make it so much easier for me >.<

Sorry for the little info, I mostly want to use this computer for gaming purposes but I also know that I will be doing a lot of graphic/video editing later on. Also would you know anywhere that would sell the samsung F3 hdd.

HDD are kind of a pain in the ass to get right now, and they are expensive, due to the recent flooding in Asia. It is short term, cost hike. Probably can still find one for cheap during the black Friday deals, but no guarantees.

That Samsung usually goes for 70.00 dollars.
