Default Building 1st Pc Need feedback on components

Hey guys, im building my first pc and i just want to know what you guys think about my selected components from newegg, and any advise you have please.

Ps. Im going to use my old G-force 7300Le 256mb for my gpu, and the PSU that comes with the case is a 20 pin connector, my mobo is 24, do you think the PSU has a 24 pin extension? if it dosent tho i have an extra 375w 24 pin PSU that i can use.

Personally, I hate the case, but that's just me

Seriously though, everything matches up and looks decent. I must at least shamelessly plug this CPU HSF though: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835150083. Remove the stock pad and toss on some AS-5 and it will out-perform several units 3x's the price. It keeps my Pentium D 'oven' at a cool 31*C Idle and 44*C Load. Might want to read the reviews and look into it.

Edit: Welcome to CF and good luck with the 1st Build! Be sure to post up with any questions you have - most folks round here are excellent with helping out.

Just get a centurion 5 instead of that xion, get a real power supply, i probably would cut on the mobo and rather get a gigabyte p35dr3l which is about 50$ cheaper and those 50$ could go into a E6550 which would be a better choice than the E4500 you have.

Now for the ram, well you don't need a fancy looking ram like that to be good plus the speed increase isn't that much, just get like this g.skill

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231098

Or this corsair

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145034

For the cooler i would rather go with the arctic freezer 7 any day

that's a bad power supply, if you want a cheap one just get a cooler master 430w or something like that, check the power supply and section ceewei1 guide he has what brands are bad for power supplies and also recommendations

ceewi1's PSU Recommendations

PSU Good/Bad List
