Hello, I'm building my first computer. I'm wanting to do some moderate gaming on it, but I want the graphics to be pretty good. I want to build a relatively powerful computer for around 800 bucks. This is the parts list I have so far. I would like some opinions as to whether everything will work together and how well it will perform. I mainly play WoW. but i'm looking into getting into other games. Anyways heres what I have so far. Sorry for all the extra junk in the titles, I copied them into notepad right from newegg.

Nice looking build. You could save some cash on the psu as a corsair 550 Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies would be plenty of power. Since you do not have a crossfirex board you will not be adding a second card.

I would get the AMD 955 Black Edition if I were you. The difference between the 965 and the 955 is the clock speed which you can easily overclock since the 955 has the multiplier unlocked.
 
this guy actually has 2 of exact same threads up
1 in the performance PC section and he already changed his setup in that thread
