I would get a Corsair 520W PSU instead. It'll turn out cheaper then that Antec ($10 MIR and free shipping) and you can't beat it.

Also, switch the RAM out with this. These usually cost around $200 but there's a sale or something. It's quite a bit better for only $15 more.

Rest looks good unless you want to get a SATA DVD-RW instead. You won't have to use that big airflowing restricting IDE cable.

Can I use that RAM? It is 2.0 -2.1 voltage and my mobo says it needs 1.8 whcih is what the other is....

Everything looks good but if you are overclocking you are going o need something better than the stock cooler. Anyway I would not get that mouse as for only 10 bucks more or so this is one of the best gaming mouses ever made.

For the ram It should work as the new revisions were made but just in case This RAM is really sick for the same price and works on 965 chipsets first try. Worked on mine.

Do you really need 2ms response time on monitor? 2ms is overkill and you won't tell the difference from 8ms. I would get the Hanns G 19inch wide 5ms for 170 bucks as I own one and it's amazing.


EDIT: I also agree with getting the Corsair PSU as it's pretty much one of the best you can get. It's watts are a bit low for SLI but you have a DS3 in there meaning I doubt you want SLI. Therefore get the Corsair.

Well i'm gunna keep the mouse i picked cuz i have it for my regular computer and it works fine.

Will change the PSU to the corsair one selected.

I think i will keep the RAM the same as what i picked to avoid any possible issues as i'm a little worried since it's my first build.

Will switch to the Hanns G 19" 5ms monitor...

not sure if i want to spend the extra $$$ on a new CPU cooler because i do not plan on overclocking until I need it to be.

Anything else?

 

[Nagasama]

get the cooler now.
because as soon as you get it all together you are going to want to overclock it.
and if you dont have the cooler, you are going to have to wait for it.
and then you will say, "i should have ordered that hsf with all my other stuff, dang".
i am certain the opinions on this matter will be unanimous here on the forums.

You might consider getting the power supply from Buy.com. After rebate, the final price is $89.99 with free shipping. If you use the $10 for new Google Checkout accounts, your final price would be $79.99.
