Compatibility Check

[cheburns]

I'm doing my first build just want to double check before I start buying that all the stuff I picked out will run together. If anyone could look it over that would be great. Thanks

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131013

Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814143090

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817189005

Have hard drives, need a couple fans, and might get a sound card later but thats what I'm looking at for now (think 500W is a large enough PSU for that set-up with 3 hard drives?).

First off get this ram instead

Then if you can extend a bit your budget get this case which is MUCH BETTER

Then get the Ultra XVS 600W which is a much better unit for the price

2Gb of RAM is better, I don't like the A-Data brand, I suggest Corsair XMS

the case is simple but nice...if u like it...get it....and yes u should get 2gb of RAM rather than 1...then RAM chup suggested perhaps

I have experienced an A-Data 512mb PC3200 RAM module. They work OK, but arent great overclockers. And they get pretty hot if you overclock...

The case is actually the only thing that I already own I got it real cheap so I figured I'd just use it. I was going to get two sticks of the hyperx memory but is hyperx overrated or just not worth the price they charge for it? Thanks for the advice guys.
