Over look my build

Hey guys. I got all my computer parts together and was wondering if you can take a look at them. Just make sure everything will be compatible. This is my first time Thanks!

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Case: NZXT Nemesis
MOBO: Asus PB5
VGA: EVGA Nvidia 7600 GS (Im only going to be using this card until the Dx10 comes out)
PSU: Subeam NUUO 550
Ram: Corsair VS Dual Channel 2 gig
HDD: Seagate barracuda 320gig
OS: Windows Vista (I want retial verion at the store. I did research and it works with all my software.)
Drive: Samsung TS-H552B (I already own this can I swap it into this system?)

I think that does it. I just need to know if I need anything else like screws or cables or if everything is compatible (Like stated in discription). Thanks guys!

Looks good, that sunbeam psu has more then enough wattage for a DX10 card, but the only thing im not a fan of is dual rail psu's, as one side tends to get fully loaded and the other not with such a setup.

I think you should be ok with the PSU w/dx10 since your build isnt too taxed with other components.

Will I run into problems with that? Im totaly sure what you mean by dual rail either. Does that mean the two processors or something?

The motherboard and video card will have the cables you need. The case should come with some screws. Check the packaging of each part, there may be screws supplied.

Dual Rails as in two 12v rails. These two 12v rails power most of your major components.

Sometimes when equipped with a power hungry videocard and a low voltage CPU, one rail will get loaded up to the max while the other one will have a light to no load. Once again, this shouldn't be an issue since you dont have too many hard drives or the such..

You should be ok with DX10. Especially since the videocard rail has 2A more.

Great! Well I think im going to go ahead and order this baby up. Just couple more question.

Will my DVD drive work with this build? (If you're familer with the model # sorry about no info on it)

If I do get a second harddrive will that dual rails be a problem? What would be a scenario where it would be a problem just in case when I upgrade in the future?

Does my case have enough fans for my setup?

For my last, ther case says that it is a "screwless design" Does this mean I dont really need any screws?

DVD player should be ok.

A second HDD should be fine. If you want to be totally set then there is the Corsair HX 520W, but thats about 2x as much. You sunbeam should handle a 8800 series card, but farther then that I cant say since we cant really look into the future.

Case is fine.

We'll you will use screws in a few places like attaching your motherboard. But otherwise probably not. From my experience however, screwless designs tend to be more of a pain then use. All up to you.
