I just started looking into building my own computer and know absolutely nothing. I've started reading as much as possible and looking at reviews, but there is so much to learn it's a bit overwhelming. I should probably just read more guides and whatnot, but I figure I'll just jump into it and give you guys all the parts I looked at for my computer and hopefully you can point out where I went wrong.

I have been shopping on TigerDirect and have got what I think is a good gaming computer for the cost. I have no idea how to build my own computer, and am curious if all the parts I chose are compatible. Also any suggestions to changing any parts are more than welcome.
Also is this thing going to be able to cool itself? I don't plan on overclocking it. Maybe in the future when I know more and am comfortable doing it myself.
Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9600 Quad Core Processor
Motherboard: XFX nForce 750a SLI Motherboard
RAM (2 sticks): Corsair Value Select 2048MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB Hard Drive
Graphics Card: HIS Radeon HD 4870 Video Card-512
Power Supply: Corsair TX750W 750-Watt Power Supply
How is the power supply? I had no idea how much I wanted, but I figured more than 500 less than 1000.
Sound Card: Auzentech AZT-XPCINE X-Plosion Cinema 7.1 Sound Card
DvD Drive: Sony DRU-V200S/BR DVD Rewritable Drive SATA
Thanks,
Gilles
