Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, optical drive, graphics card (already own the hd6950), hdd (would like an ssd)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, ncix, probably gona grab what I can from microcenter too
Country: US

Additional Comments: Would like to go for reliability and power. I've put together this build but I'm sure it could be improved (again, I already own the hdd and gfx card but plan on upgrading both whenever I feel them slowing me down). This is the first system I'm putting together, so excuse me if I'm way off in some way.
