Will this set up work?

[Elephant Shoe]

Ok, I've came up with a setup for a new computer that I would like to build. I'm kind of rookie but I want to stay up to date and be modern. Here is what I came up with..



Computer Case: Newegg.com - Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases

Processor:Newegg.com - Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Hard Drive: SATA 1 TB (Nothing to hardcore, i.e 10,000+ RPM)

RAM: Newegg.com - OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Motherboard: Newegg.com - EVGA 132-BL-E758-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Power Supply: Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies

Video Card: nVidia EVGA 9800 GTX

OS: Windows XP 64 bit

CD/DVD Drive: Standard LG Drive



I already have the Hard Drive, Video Card and the CD/DVD drive, so buying new ones wont be an option for me. ;-(

Is this all compatible with each other? If not, why? Am I making any wrong choices? Any recommendations? Thanks!

I see no compatibility issues with any of this hardware.

Thanks for the quick responses. ;-) I'm glad this rig will work! And yeah, I had to be cautious on the case, the 9800 gtx is very big.

it's only 10.5" long fit in a antec three hundred just fine. i used to have one.

Yeah, currently it doesn't fit my mid-tower, so might as well go full tower for some extra cable room etc.

wire managment is pretty easy with this case. these are pics without my GTX 260.

new antec twelve hundred and water cooling. took the pics without my GTX 260 perhaps i will do another update.

Wow, tons of space and looks very nice. Lots of management. Thanks for posting some pictures, I was looking for some.

it looks a little better now. i cleaned up some of those little random fan wires that are running all over the place and got a GTX 260 core 216 in there
