none of your links work, looks like you copied someone leses links so it doesn't expand to the full address, keeping the ... in there making it not work. why 950w, pointless even for 2 580's, 800 or so is all you need for 2. the motherboard is lga1366, but the cpu is lga1155, and although that is a good cpu, only 2 games even can use the 4 extra threads of the i7, and only 1 truly benefits, so an i5-2500k is better for the money. and also no game at all even uses 8gb's of ram, so 16gb's is just pointless. unless you have a 200+ buck audio system then the audio card is pointless. and lastly i see no operating system disk in there, which is a necessity, and also i would highly recomend a better case if your making a system like this, look at corsair, lian li, cooler master, and nzxt cases at and above the 90 buck point

Sorry about the links I tryd to copy from my word document and it got all messed up. Anyway, so your saying I could get a lower watt power supply, get an i5-2500 instead of the i7, No more then 8gb ram, and a different case and sound card.

Which sound card would you recommended, does it really matter that much for gaming? Also what brands of PSU's do you recommend?
 
psus-corsair, antec, xfx, pc power and cooling, silverstone, seasonic, those are all the best ones.

2500K if you'd like to overclock, k means unlocked multiplier which is the best way to overclock, there is another way but it is unstable and doesn't go nearly as high.

and idk anything about sound cards really, but unless you have an amazing sound system then they are useless, the speakers will distort and destroy all the stuff the card fixes and removes and all.

That one seems cool, I guess ill stick to that one if it will save me 80 dollars and I still have enough room for my stuff.
 
Good case. I have one and installed quite a few. Lots of room and good cable management. Has four 120 and two 140 fans.

Awesome. So anything else I should need, or I can substitute? Or will this be able to turn on once I put what i listed (and changed) together and be able to run the latest games at maximum settings? Such as BF3, Skyrim, SWTOR.

btw, thanks for all the quick and very helpful replies, i really like this place
:good:
 
The case has plenty of room, really should have been called a full instead of a mid. Will even fit EATX boards.

Everything looks fine and should run games fine. The sound card is up to you. If you get it you will need a really good set of speakers. But really onboard sound is not bad anymore.
