Simple Sandy Bridge build, compatibility

Hello jc1g;

Those parts are all compatible.

What are you going to pair them with?

Hi, WR2, thanks. I plan to use all the integrated features for a while, so that's pretty much the entire setup for now; is it correct I won't be needing a video, audio, or network card? I have an hdd, dvd, and case as well, which I may as well list for beginner's sake.

Thanks again.

You can use the integrated HD Graphics video with that CPU/MB combo.
And you're set with the integrated network adapter as well.

You've gone for SATA storage (HDD/DVD) devices so they're compatible too.
But that $20 DVD drive has $7 shipping charge.
And the case/PSU has a $20 shipping charge.
Lets see if we can find a better option.

Sony Optiarc 24X DVD Burner $18 & free shipping
WD Caviar Blue 160GB 7200rpm HDD (refurb) $30

Good call. I think I can figure things out from here. I'll be back on here if I have any more questions. Thanks for all your help.

Sure;
Stop by anytime if you have questions.
