Hey guys, I was planning on building a new Pc, Would you tell me If the parts I am choosing are compatible?, and if so what do you think about them.

ASUS M4A87TD EVO AM3
Phenom x4 965
Ati Radeon Hd 6670 (whats better, sapphire or power color)
4gb ram
1Tb
500Watts Supply

Everything you listed is compatible I guess. You're missing details necessary to really help you out. Budget and what you plan to use the PC for would be great places to start.

It's compatible yes. What's your budget though? I would not skimp on the power supply under any circumstances.

My budget is around the $600, and about my power supply i was going to buy a cheap one, why is it so important?

If the supply fails (cheap ones die all the time) the rest of your components are likely to be fried.

Use www.pcpartpicker.com. You can input you build and check to see if everything is compatible as well as look at benchmarks, reviews, rankings, specs, etc.

What about case, monitor, ROM drive, OS, keyboard/mouse?

What he said. Cheap power supplies ARE NOT WORTH IT. If you get a bad one it will most likely take out your whole system with it. Brands to avoid are things like Coolmax, Raidmax, Enermax, Xion, Apevia, and so on. I've seen what happens when you use cheap power supplies - it's not pretty.
