If you can get a Phenom II 955 cheaper, go with that. Both are unlocked and clock about the same.

Video card. The 460 is a fine card. But I would go with a 6870.

Thats a good board, but its a 880G board with onboard video, paying 20 bucks for onboard video that you dont really need. I would get a Asus M4A87TD/USB3 or Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3.

Memory, get G Skill or Mushkin.

Power Supplies Antec/Corsair/XFX/Seasonic or Silverstone.

Thank you, but I am wondering if a pci-e 2.0 port on motherboard and the
Ati Radeon HD 6870 has a 2.1 port.
Will they match? and should i get the powercolor, msi, sapphire, his, xfx, or asus card? powercolor is the cheapest.

thank you :)

Yes, a PCIe 2.1 card will work absolutely fine in a 2.0 slot. It depends, if there isn't much difference with the price, then get the one with the best warranty, if it's the same then the Sapphire, but if the PoCo card is significantly cheaper than the others then get that.

There are sata cables come with motherboard...
Sorry, doesn't realise you have 3 sata devices.

Not sure how good is Chieftec PSU, You may consider Corsair TX 650W PSU.
