Hey,
I've just found all the parts I'm going to put in my computer. Going to be mainly for gaming and also home use.
I'm not sure if all of the parts that I have are compatible or not, could someone have a look through and see if it all works.

Case: CoolerMaster Elite 330 ATX No PSU Black
Mother board: Gigabyte AM2 AMD 790X DDR2 ATX Audio Lan
HDD: Samsung SpinPoint 320GB 7200RPM S300 16MB
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 Dual Core AM2 1MB 3.1GHz
Processor Cooling: Asus Arctic Square Compact Cooler with Blue LED Fan CPU cooler
Power Supply: OCZ Technology 500W STEALTHXSTREAM POWER SUPPLY
Graphics Cards: Club 3D nVidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB PCI-E2.0 X2 SLI config
RAM: OCZ 4GB PC2-6400 Titanium XTC Edition (2x2GB)
DVD Writers: Pioneer 20x Internal DVDRW Black SATA OEM
Mouse: Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse

If I've missed anything out please say, thank you.
 
Should do, graphics card requires 400. So I got a 500 power supply. Can you suggest a cpu cooler that fits AM2?
Thanks for the fast response :)

Oh yeah! There's only one card there isn't there? I was confused because it said "Graphics Cards"

Unless you plan on overclocking or you live in the middle of the desert the stock cooler that comes with the CPU should work fine... I haven't had any issues with my 5000+ and the stock cooler... sure, I've only had it for four or five days, but so far so good! :D

EDIT: Since StrangleHold is saying to go with a more powerful PSU I'd go for it... the man knows what he's talking about.

Yeah, I might consider overclocking in the future. And I will be running SLI config with 2 cards. Might leave the cooler, can get it later.
Will the power be enough?

This is the fan that I was thinking about.

And this could be the power supply.

If your not running 2 9600GT is SLI the one you picked will be fine. But 9600GT in SLI, the recommended minimum is 450W with 28/30 amps. I would just get one with a little bit of head room.

You need to fix your links. Dont know anything about dabs P/S to give you a yes or no. That CPU cooler will be fine.

Just get around a 600W with about 40 amps. Gives you some headroom for upgrades later on. Plus your not always stressing out the P/S
