First Build Comments/Recommendations

[Savage545]

I will be building my first system soon and want to make sure everything is compatible and will work well together. I plan on using the computer for mostly gaming, FSX, CoD4, and any other computer-related tasks. Is this everything I need?

None of your links work...

I think they work now...

Everything seems good except for the video card. You'd be better off with a HD3850 which performs way better than the 7950GT, for about the same price.

Will the HD3850 be compatible/work well with the rest of the hardware?

Yes.

For your budget ($200) for GPU, you either get HD3850/ 8800GT 256MB (better IMO).

And you probably don't need a floppy drive nowadays, may be pay a litter more to get one with card reader

Your RAM seems expensive...
Why don't you get those slightly expensive one, but with rebate offer?

Also, for the case, why don't you take one of the followings cases? They are cheaper/ have rebate offer...
