Hello all. Im new to the forums here and to building computers in general. However, I have in the past installed video cards, hard drives, and memory and have done much research on how to build a computer. Just a few weeks ago I have decided that I would like to build a new gaming rig after my prebuilt desktop died on me.
Here is what I have come up with so far...
Case:
COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP Black Steel + Plastic and Mesh Bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP Black Steel + Plastic and Mesh Bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
(I will be adding an additional 200mm intake fan on the side)
MoBo:
ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Newegg.com - ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU:
Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80601930
Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80601930

After dozens of reviews and product information I feel that this build would be a great gaming system using Windows 7 64 bit. I was just wondering if this would be a compatable build together. And all suggestions and criticisms would be greatly appreciated. And any tips for building the computer would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
