Hi, I'm thinking about purchaseing or building a gaming computer for around 2000 dollars. The Cyberpower gamer Extreme 2000 with the following hardware seems like a good deal. Are these components that I've configured compatible with eachother?

Tower: NZXT Mid-tower gaming case (no lights -simple case)


Cooling: Maximum 120mm cooling fan
Asetek liquid CPU cooling system
2X Vigor isurf II Hard disk drive cooling system

Processor: Intel i7 core x860 2.8 GHz (100 dollar factory 30% overclock)

RAM: 8gb PC1333 DDR3 PC3 (corsair dominator)

Hard disk Drive: 1X 300GB Gaming Western VelociRaptor

Video Card: 1X ATI Radeon 5870 HD 1gb

Data Hard Drive: none (do I need one for gaming)

Optical Drive: LG 22X

Motherboard: [CrossFireX/SLI] MSI P55-GD65 Intel P55 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, USB2.0, SATA-II RAID, 2 Gen2 PCIe, 2 PCIe X1 & 3 PCI [+0]



Power Supply: In-Win Commander IRP 850w (CrossfireX compatible)


What exactly is a network card? Do I need it? Also, will 850 watts of power be enough?
Any answer will be appreciated. Thanks
 
Thats not a bad build, but you can build a much better one for the price.

As for the powersupply, 850watts is plenty though I've never heard of that brand before and I wouldnt trust it. Get a corsair, Antec or an Ocz.
 
Thanks for the reply. I agree with you, it is a bit pricey. I'd prefer to try my hand at building a rig too. That being said, I like the idea of having a warranty on the entire computer itself. I'm not particularly tech savvy and might have trouble fixing or diagnosing a problem should anythig ever go wrong. Would an 800 watt power supply be better suited? Also, would an Nvidia Geforce GT285 be better as it is a 2MB card? It is a bit less expensive than the ATI Radeon 1MB.
