Hey guys, I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me. I took at IT class back in high school about ~4 years ago where I learned about different aspects of the computer and at the end of the year we built a couple computers for the school. Unfortunately that was 4 years ago and I haven't taken any IT classes or built any computers since then, so the term "rusty" is an understatement.
Now I'm getting ready to build my first PC that I'll actually be using. I haven't ordered the parts yet because the first thing I wanted to do was run em past you guys and see if you spot any compatibility issues (or any issues really) that I may have overlooked. I'm purchasing everything through Newegg so I'll just give the part name with a link to it on Newegg so you can lookup certain specs if you need to.
Case - Newegg.com - AZZA Solano 1000R Black / Red Japanese SECC Steel/Metal mesh in front ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Motherboard - Newegg.com - ASUS M5A88-V EVO AM3+ AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
CPU - Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX
Video card - Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100338L Radeon HD 6770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Hard drive - Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Power supply - Newegg.com - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply
RAM - Newegg.com - G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2
Cooling device - Newegg.com - ZALMAN CNPS11X Extreme V-Shaped Dual Heatpipe Design w/120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel Sandy Bridge
Also getting the CD/DVD drive and a wireless adapter but didn't think those really mattered enough to link.
So please let me know if you see something I might have missed when it comes to all these parts.
Also as I said this is the first computer I've built in 4 years so the actual steps of building are a little fuzzy, anyone have a nice guide they'd recommend reading before attempting to put these parts together? Or if you have any personal tips please feel free to share them.
Thanks guys!
