Hello,

I'm new to building, but I've done tons of research over the past few weeks and am slowly gaining confidence. Individually, I think these parts are solid - I'm just not 100% if they will all work well together.

My wishlist on Newegg is:

Extra facts:
No plans on overclocking just yet, maybe in the future
Plan to SLI another 560 ti in the future
May add sound card down the road if not satisfied with onboard audio
Games played: mostly Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3
Monitors: still deciding between dual 24s or dual 27s

Worries:Will I have all the cables I need, from the parts ordered (since the Blu ray drive is OEM, is there an extra SATA cable that comes with the mobo)?

Does everything work well together?

Should I get an anti-static wrist strap just to be safe, being a newbie?

Any important do's/don'ts of assembly greatly appreciated as well.

Also any advice on dual 24 vs dual 27 monitors appreciated (I feel like dual 27s might be overkill, and hard to play competitive SC2, but I could be wrong).

Thanks in advance!
 
If this build is for gaming, then make him to be for gaming ( on high and ultra).
Firts of all for a gaming PC 4GB RAM is enough, but for future proof buy 8GB , you don't need 16GB.
Motherboard ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131792 $189.99 the diference a few minor conectivity ( USB and SATA ports)
Buy a 128GB SSD is enough for OS and games and buy a 500GB HDD for media and other stuffs from your PC.
And for the diference buy a better video card.If i have your budget ill buy a 7950 and you can add another in the future , because with a little overclock that card is close to 7970. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_7950_CrossFire/3.html
Monitor : ASUS VS248H-P Black 24" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236153

After researching, it turns out the geforce gtx 560 ti is more than enough to run the games I play (Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3) on Max settings. And when I can no longer run my games on max, at that point I can SLI another card.

Nice monitor though.

holy crap that must cost a fortune, oh, you probably wont need the wrist strap, they are pretty cheap but as long as you touch the metal part of the case frequently and arent someone who builds a lot (just because more chances to touch something u shouldnt over time, and if u build for other people they like safety assurance for their computer) you probably wont need it.

when u r assembling, be very careful with any mechanical hard drives, i had an ancient desktop (windows 98 era) and hit the top of the case when i was testing it (had just added a new fan) it just died. mech hdds are fragile, not nearly as much now with better tech and newer drives, but still goo dto be careful.

dont touch any gold colored pins on the ram cpu or gpu, doesnt usually do much if anything, but the greases and other stuff on human skin can do something it shouldnt, cant remember what, just dont manhandle your ram ok lol.

27" monitors would probably be overkill. especially because when u just that 3 inches, price goes WAY up usually, it went from $130 to $150-160 between 23 and 24 when i was shopping for one for my xbox 360 setup.

good luck, oh and som of my price guesses are just that, estimates, that is closest i can remember to what i saw WHEN i was looking, which was a little while ago.
