One last check of compatibility

Okay. I asked before if a few parts I was looking at are compatible, but now I think I have the rest if the computer I'm going to build all put together in my head. This computer is going to run Windows 7 64-bit. Here's a list of the parts and I would just like to know if they are all compatible. I've already got a few parts from my old computer I'm going to reuse, but that shouldn't be an issue. (Keyboard, mouse, cd Drive, monitor)

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition AM3 CPU
MSI 890FXA-GD70 Motherboard
Corsair CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 XMS3 4GB DDR3 RAM (I'm going to get 2 for a total of 8 Gb)
EVGA 01G-P3-1366-TR GeForce GTX 460 SE Video Card
Seagate ST31000524AS Barracuda Hard Drive (1 Tb)
Thermaltake TPX-775M Toughpower XT 775W Power Supply
Apevia X-DREAMER3-BK X-DREAMER3 Mid Tower Case

I'm actually kind of open to suggestions about towers. I'd prefer a top-mounted PSU. Anyway, if somebody could recheck for me to see if everything is compatible that would be cool.... which means your cool.
Okay. Thanks.

Yeah, its all compatible.

Motherboard. In that price range. I would get a Gigabyte GA 990FXA UD5 or UD7

For the money I would get G Skill DDR3 1600

The Thermal is ok, but I would get a Seasonic/XFX/Corsair/Silverstone/PC P&C/Antec power supply.

How much you want to spend on a case? Apevia is not that good of a case.

As for the price of the case I was thinking somewhere below $70. Thanks for listing that motherboard. I've been looking at different computer parts a lot for the past week and I don't know how I could have missed it. Thanks for the reply.

If you want to save some money and get a better case. The Gigabyte GA 990XA UD3 is a nice board and only cost 150 bucks.

The 300 pretty much sucks for cable management.

If you mean 4x2GB---2x4GB is better, and costs less. Something like this maybe

Do you need 8GB memory? If not, and assuming it's for gaming,
you could consider 2x2GB and throw a little $ more at the GPU.
 
Hey all, im new at this so i was wonering if you could double check my build, also will either the monitor or the tower come with cables to connect them?

Torlin,
This is SoupHead's thread. What you've done is call Highjacking. Pls start your own thread in the appropriate forum.
(and don't buy Diablotek)
