First PC Build - Compatible Parts? - Hardware & Software

This is kinda my first build, I'm pretty sure all the parts are compatible, just wanted to make sure it won't explode or something within the first week of me putting it together.

[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016[/url] 30$ less Think about one of these [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500163[/url] Appart from that its all great [editline]07:23PM[/editline] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289[/url] is cheaper, saves a couple moneys

Switch out your PSU for this: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016&cm_re=antec_550w-_-17-371-016-_-Product[/url] It's an Antec 550W PSU, same wattage of your other PSU, Antec is very reliable, $10 cheaper. ninja'd

Well I guess with the money I'd save from switching out parts I could swap the gfx card too, but is that one noticeably better? And thanks, derlicious, I switched out the power supply. Lol

The Corsair is easily worth the extra.

So you think I should switch it back?

Corsair makes the best PSUs ever. I'd stay with them.

Doesnt really make a difference between two good psus, as long as its reliable you wont notice it. My PSU doesnt boost my performance.

Don't get a 5830. Get a 5770. The performance of the 5830 isn't enough for it to be worth getting instead of a 5770. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161317[/url]

What is your budget?

well my budget is pretty much around $900. My current total comes out to about $1099 with the monitor included, so I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck. It's mainly for gaming, the most intensive things I would be playing would be GTA 4, Mass Effect 2, etc. EDIT: Well, the new total comes out $1014 after swapping out for the 5770.

[QUOTE=NecroTitan;22523455]No just dont.[/QUOTE] Rosewill is starting to make good cases now (with quality parts)

[QUOTE=Nsybouts;22524026]Rosewill is starting to make good cases now (with quality parts)[/QUOTE] Would much rather have the coolermaster centurion, or CM elite for the same price and better build quality and customer service.

the smart one is great

[QUOTE=reapaninja;22524186]the smart one is great[/QUOTE] Air flow wise, would that case be any worse than the one I already picked out? I like the design of the smart one better, just worried about stuff running hot, enough space, etc.
