Can someone check out these parts for my first costum computer?
#1
I'd like any suggestions.
Am I missing anything?
What do you think the price of this would be if bought at a store?(These parts are just under $800 with shipping)
I have two graphics cards listed below, which would you suggest?
Is a sound card nessacary?
Is everything capatible?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Don't buy at a store, it'll be a lot cheaper on newegg. No, you don't need a sound card because your motherboard has onboard sound.

Case:
This case looks solid and has good reviews, although it is a bit expensive. If you're tight on money I'd suggest buying something cheaper.

Motherboard:
Great choice.

CPU:
You might as well just go with something like this. I've heard that the Phenoms have heating issues and the one you picked is only a dual core, this is a quad. I have the same processor and it works great.

Video Card:
Go with the one you picked made by XFX
Why?
  • I've never heard of ZOTAC in my life
  • The XFX one supports DirectX 11
  • The Mobo doesn't support SLI (NVIDIA's version of CrossFireX where you have two graphics cards working together)
  • The XFX one runs on GDDR5 ram, and other stuff

PSU:
Good choice.

Hard Drive:
Holy crap! I didn't know 1TB hard drives were so cheap now, good find!

RAM:
I've never heard of pqi before so you should go with a more reputable brand imo, and go with at least DDR3 1066.

CD Drive:
Looks awesome


Your build looks great, good luck
