First System Build, Looking for Feedback
Well I’ve decided to try and build my First System since I’ve gotten rather frustrated with prebuilt systems. I’ve spent some time reading reviews and browsing Newegg. I've decided on the following, any feedback is greatly appreciated as well as recommendations for alternate parts that may offer better Value or Performance. If you notice anything that seems totally retarded in my build please let me know, still kind of feeling my way around, I've done a fair bit of upgrading but I've never built anything from the ground up before. This is going to be used almost exclusively for gaming and I’d like to keep plenty of room for future upgrades.
-Haven’t Really OCed before but I’d like to try with this system Case: Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129043 PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006 Mobo: BIOSTAR TpowerX58 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138135 CPU: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115202 CPU Cooling: ZALMAN CNPS9900LED 120mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118046 RAM: OCZ XMP Ready Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227388 GPU: EVGA 896-P3-1258-A1 GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 SSC Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130443 HDD: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136322 (May add a Second one for Raid 0 in the future) Thanks in Advance. |

I'd look at a different brand - Samsung opticals don't have that good a reliability record. Lite-On or LG would be a better choice. Then again, for 30 bucks you can afford to replace it annually.

Not unless you want to add a second drive for storage, such as this:
Western Digital Black 750GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136283

Ill probably end up going with some sort of NAS solution for storage, TB units arent that much now and I dont really store much data. Thanks for looking my picks over.
