I'm building a $1000 gaming pc to use as a 1080p Steam Box connected to my television. I want to buy everything this week. I don't need a monitor and I plan on buying everything from a combination of NewEgg and Amazon.
Are all of these parts compatible? I'm looking for a more quiet build, so I chose the PowerColor card as it seems to have good reviews for sound, cooling, and power. I don't mind spending this much money, but any ideas on how to save a little money would be much appreciated as well.
