Hi guys, my name is David, and I am a new member!
This is gonna be my first time building my own computer, so I am just asking for feed backs on my build.
Here are the specs:

Motherboard= (38253)EVGA X58 Classified EATX LGA1366 DDR3 4PCIE-16 1PCI SLI SATA2(499.99)
RAM=1x(34802)Corsair XMS3 Dominator TR3x6G1600C8D 6GB DDR3 3x2GB (273.90)
Video Cards=1x(44351) Radeon HD 5870 850MHZ 1GB GDDR5 4.8GHZ PCI-E 2xDVI HDMI Display(418.00)
Case = (33029) Cooler master haf 932 Full tower black eatx case 6x5.25 1x 3.5 5x3 (168.92)
Power Supply = (26415) Corsair TX750W 750W ATX 12V 60A 24PIN ATX 140MM Fan (144.99/122.99)

Card Reader = (21448) nGear Flash Card reader 3.5In…(18.99)

The price shown for the parts is more expansive, as I live in Canada, Vancouver. I am purchasing these parts locally hopefully through NCIX. Thanks guys
 
looks good, but unless you are an extreme OCer then the X58 classified is not needed. or unless you have a huge amount of cash to blow.

Looks like a great build, but the caviar black you listed in the first post will have better performance than the caviar green.
 
But the other one only has 650GB. Should I get two caviar black instead of the green (1.5tb)? Is that what you're suggesting?
 
Yeah, get a caviar black instead of a green. You will get more performance from a black (as in faster).
