First Build, Will this work?

[ZugZugTheOrc]

This is my first build, and I've done what homework I can, but I wanted to run this by you all and see if I did it right before I throw money at it.

Here is what I've come up with. I'm trying to keep it sub $1000. I've also already got the video card (PCIe 2.0, 6 pin power connection)

*Updated 21 Dec 09* - Thanks to everyone's suggestions, here is the new list for this build.. could use a suggestion for a good case.

SILVERSTONE ST75F-P 750W ATX 12V v2.3 & EPS 12V 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor

Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal

RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WB Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4G​​​BRL

Looks good except hdd is overpriced. Also you might as well get the 955be instead. They are both the same chip just the 965 has a higher multi.

Also I would consider a different and better case. Raidmax has cheap cases

 

[ZugZugTheOrc]

Awesome, thanks for the great input!

What case would you recommend? I was looking for a case that provided good cooling and didn't require me to buy extra cooling equipment.

Id go for a different power supply, a corsair 750W or Pc power and cooling silencer 750W would easily power that setup.

 

[StrangleHold]

Like said above. Drop the Power Supply and get a PC Power & Cooling/ Corsair/Silverstone/Antec/OCZ/BFG/Xcilo

Will the Corsair 750W PSU from NewEgg meet the requirements for my video card connector? The one NewEgg has, come with 4x 8pin peripheral connectors. Will it work with the video card I've got?

I've got a GeForce 9800GT 512MB, requires one 6-pin PCIe -or- two 4-pin peripheral supplementary connectors. Should work right?

This one:
CORSAIR CMPSU-750HX 750W ATX12V 2.3

 

[linkin]

It probably has 4x 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors, meaning it could power four of those graphics cards

This is a good deal on a Silverstone

If you're not stuck on Modular, the TX750 is a great buy, and it has four 6+2 PCI-E connectors.

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX ($109.99)
($99.99 after $10.00 Mail-In Rebate)

 

[G25r8cer]

Note: If you buy a case with good cable management then, buying a modular psu is pointless.

Updated the list... see OP

Thanks for the help so far, you guys are awesome!

Looks pretty good. Not a Raidmax fan myself. I would get a Cooler Master/ NZXT or Antec case. Or even one of the Lian Li Lancool cases.

I had one of the PC-K62. Kick butt case. Youngest daughter fell in love with it. When I redid her computer about a month ago I let her have it. Surprised her.

Think I might try one of the AZZA cases, the Solano 1000.

 

[Stoic Sentinel]

Never tried AZZA yet. Is it just me or does the Solano 1000 look like the 900?

 

[StrangleHold]

Yeap, but its a full size case.

 

[ZugZugTheOrc]

I'm really liking the PC-K62 case! Very cool indeed! (no pun...)

That's one's very nice, for sure The thing is, no one can really tell you what you like. So, pick what you want

I think the parts that sold me were the sound dampeners and the lighting.
