I want to build a top of the line computer. I've picked out these parts so far. I just want to know if all of them would fit together (compatible with each other) and whether I'm getting the best bang for my buck (I dont want to be ripped off). Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated :)

Uh..

Please put the parts and links..

Newegg is slowwww for me.


Now I wouldn't really get that Zalman cooler.. XP-90? Ultra 120 ETC...

And Unless you plan on going SLI that 620 could be a 520

And if you wait until July 22nd you can pick up a quadcore for 266 :p
 
Same on the Zalman cooler, get something else. TR 120 Extreme?
Same on Mobo...
Same on Price drop.

Nice Case... oooo pricey.
Nice Display & GFX!
Excellent PSU!

Enjoy! :drool:

Edit: What about HDD?
 
Looks good

Yah i got that HDD, its quiet as heck, and performs on par. I'd recommend saving a little money and going with Evga 680i motherboard, it Oc's so well, that i cant cool well enough to actually see some sick speeds. But i can hit 4Ghz and 2000Mhz FSB easy. 400x9 it can run at stable. Plus u save like 100 bucks.
 
My advice to you is to look into a P35 motherboard. The Asus P5K and Abit IP35 boards are both great. Also they do especially well with quads, if you were going that route.
