First Build - Is this viable?

[BiggSteve]

Hello,

This will be my first time building my own computer. I am most likely going to buy parts this week and was looking for quick advice on the parts that I have picked out. My first question is, for my video card, I currently have Geforce GTS 450 that I have as an upgrade on an old computer. Should I buy another one for a cheap $90 and do SLI or get rid of the old card and buy a new more recent card? Also, my budget is around $800. Thanks!

Your build is good i wouldn't buy that case though as for a video card best buy has a pony 560TI on sale for $150 it's not possible that i am aware of to get a decent gaming card for $90 or $100

I'd recommend you switch psu. The Seagates have done very well on benchmarks and only a few bucks more. Look at the motherboard combo's on the i5 at newegg can catch some good deals there. Radeon HD7770 is a nice card you can catch around 100.
