Well im here to post my friends rig as he is having problems making an account he wants to know if these parts are compatible and if hes getting the bang for his buck I think his budget is around 750, He lives in the US and this is an intended gaming pc.

He has never built a computer before so that is why he is asking if these parts will work together Also he already has an OS if that information was needed.

Here are a few suggestions. I would go with a Phenom II 970 Quad-Core over the 4 module Zambezi. It is a better processor.

AMD Phenom II 970 Black Edition (3.5 gigahertz) 125 Watt Quad-Core Processor - $145

16 gigabytes is also overkill for RAM. Go with 8 gigabytes and save money. You won't notice any difference between 16 and 8 gigabytes of RAM in performance.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8 gigabytes (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) RAM - $44

What hard drive has he picked out?
 
i would change the case to a cooler master haf 912 too, and with the saved money from 2048megabytes suggestions up the graphics card to a 6950 or 560ti
