Get an Antec TruePower PSU, and some OCZ, G.Skill, or Corsair ram with the lowest timings you can find, and make sure the ram is dual channel.

Are you going to be overclocking? If not go with some cheap Valueram. If you are going to OC, I have the 2*1gb G.Skill extreme Series RAM and i like it alot. It overclocks fairly well.

As for the PSU, i have the OCZ Powerstream 520W and i love it. Its an awesome power supply. You should also look into the Antec True Power Series for good psus.

i'm hoping he will be overclocking if hes bought an FX-60. if i had an FX-60 i would look into getting a dual psu like those used in servers. failing that an OCZ powerstream or an Antec TruePower 2.0. look at OCZ Gold/Platinum EL (Enhanced Latency) series.

I am planning on overclockng a little later. i want to get comfortable with how everything works before i try to overclock. do you know of any good guides, this is my first build
thx

Antec with some high quality OCZ !!

Opinion- Dont get the raptor 150 gig. If you decide to get a Raptor, get a 74 gig and then get a 250 or 300 gig slave SATA. Almost the same amound of money for twice or three times the amount.

I wouldnt get a fx-60 either. Go with a 4800X2 then overclock it to past fx-60 speeds.

As for overclocking, there are guides all over this forum
