Im going to build my first computer but i need some advice on parts first, any suggestions would be hugely appreciated. here's what i believe that im going to get:
Intel core i7 920
Corsair dominator 3 x 2gb RAM DDR3 1600mhz
2x WD 1TB hard drives set up in RAID 0 (SATA II)
Nvidia geforce GTX 295
Samsung half-weight DVD-W 22x lightscribe
Cooler Master V8
I'm debating between the Antec 900 and the 1200 cases.
Intel X58 motherboard
OCZ stealthxstream 600W PSU

im not sure if the PSU will be powerful enough to support all of the hardware that im going to put into it.
 
Single GTX295?
Why not dual GTX275? It would be cheaper...

If you running single card, consider the new $200 corei5 750 as well...

But the mobo haven't been on newegg yet...

Also, for video card, may be wait and have a look for the new ATI 5 series...

Anyway, I suggest you wait another 2 weeks see if the new hardware available.

The PSU would definitely be weak for a 295.

The Dominator memory is good stuff, but there's much cheaper
RAM that specs the same.
 
I've been advised to, so I'm going to pass this information onto you too, don't go for a 1Tb harddrive to install all your OS and system files.

Go for something like a 320Gb and then you could still go for the 1Tb drives.
