Processor is too expensive for what it is. Get an I5-750 instead and a 1156 motherboard.
RAM's good HDD is good GPU is very good PSU is WAY overpowered and a pretty average make. Look at Corsair PSU's. You wont need 1000 watts, get an 800 watts one from Corsair if you're hell bent on running Crossfire (You really wont need it) and a 500-600W if you're going to run a single card. EDIT: Case and optical are personal decisions, as long as the parts fit, go nuts. |

I guess I need to make my post a little more clear. I am not worried about "did I pick the best part for price" and "is there better or worse items on the market" I am very new to the build my own computer thing. I spent about 2 days, reading and reading specs on parts and I tried to just put a list together. My goal is to learn if I was able to make the correct pairing of parts. This probably wont be the build I go with seeing as I'm not even starting for about 6 months or so. I just want some feedback as to did I do a good job at picking parts that all are compatible and will run smooth. Thanks for all the help with this. Again, I'm still very early in the learning phase :-)

They'll all work together and overall have one hell of a system but as far as price:performance goes, you'd get far better value using an I5. The 5870 is immensely powerful and good value I suppose.
In 6 months, there will more than likely be a 5890 or 5870x2 and as such, 5870 prices will plummet to reasonably acceptable levels. The I5's will have matured, the I9's might come out and on the whole, you'll be looking at a very different system than that one. Just get off the 1366 socket and get on the 1156 socket before you go any further. |

What do you plan to use the PC for?
__________________
The CPU and motherboard (as Razer said) are too expensive and are poor value to performance ratio. Try looking at the Core i5 series and an LGA1156. The power supply is an overkill and the case is terrible. Look here at Carbons Recommended Computer Parts Guide #5. My System: xX_TeK_GaMeR_Xx

I really do appreciate the feedback, all this is helping me learn. i do want to clarify that this is not the PC I will be building. All I wanted to acomplish was to see if I could (with my limited knowledge of building a computer) pick out parts that would all work together ie:
a processor that works with motherboard a video card that fits on motherboard a power supply that will power everything I want a tower that can fit everything I want This was just to see where I am at on the learning curve. I know I have a long way to go, and that there are better bang for your buck parts, and that many of the parts I picked are overpowered or there are better options. Thank you for all the options on different parts I can pick and I have already added them to my list. Can someone just tell me if the build I submitted is compatible or not? :-) |

I take it that at some time in the future you would like to build one though?

Perfect!!!!! Now I can actually start looking at parts I want. I am learning what I need to look for on stats, now I can actually look at quality and best choice products. Thank you for everything. :-)
