    Will these parts work together?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-565-_-Product ---------MSI GTX 560 TI

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-005-_-Product ---------Corsair PSU

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129066 ---------Case

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231310 ---------4gb RAM

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131711 -------Asus mobo

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136795 --------Harddrive

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...73&Tpk=i5-2500 ---------i5-2500 (can't really see myself overclocking in the future...)

    Any recommendations on parts changes are welcome, thanks in advance.


    ---------------------EDIT---------------------------------------

    So far, here's what I've changed:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371021 Antec PSU

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-706-_-Product p67 mobo

    Sure, if you're not overclocking.

    good build for some1 who will not overclock, nice deal on the PSU as well =) but i would still get a P67 mobo , because h67 isnt compatible with Turbo boost

    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...-708-_-Product almost same price but you will be able to use turbo boost

    oh lets me suggest you this HDD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-544-_-Product , for only 6$ you get 64mb cache and an additional 140gb

    and with this build you will be able to play on Ultra / 4x Multisample/ 4x AF at 50-60fps with a 1080p monitor =)

    Both P67 and H67 boards will support Turbo Boost 2.0. There is no need to change that. In fact, since he isn't OCing, by going with the P67 he'll actually lose features because of QuickSync and Lucid Virtu. You'll want to read upon that stuff if you haven't btw Bryguy.

    Grab the Antec TP-650 PSU instead and save yourself the MIR hassle.

    I would strongly suggest looking into OC for the small price to pay, it will mean that your CPU will stay relevant for longer as you will be able to really push it at the end of its lifespan to still be competative with newer chips.
    I would go a 1TB HDD and 8GB RAM if you can afford it.

    Antec TP New 650W is slightly better and cheaper PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371021
    Samsung Spinpoint F3 double size HDD for same price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152185

    And yes, for reason mentioned above this post... Even if you don't overclock now, you still should take the P67 board and 2500K CPU. Pay bit more now, but you can possibly extend the usable lifetime of the computer by year or two later by adding third party CPU heatsink and simple OC.

    Trolling should be.

    I wouldn't recommend that Patriot RAM kit. Get one of these 1.5v DDR3 1600MHz CAS9 kits instead:

    G.Skill Ripjaw X Series http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231427

    Corsair XMS3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145339

    What's wrong with Patriot RAM? There really isn't much different between G.Skill Ripjaws and the Patriot ram. Both have fancy head spreaders. The Ripjaws look like they had the resident blind man design it, while Patriot's is refined. Not that that's all to look for in the RAM, but that's the only difference.

    They are 1.65 volts. Although he could get away with using them, 1.5v is recommended for SandyBridge.

    Memory Voltage: As with LGA1366 and LGA1156 CPUs, keep this value to within 0.5V of the VCCIO voltage to prevent long term damage to the CPU. By default, this is 1.1V, which means the 1.65V used by previous Intel DDR3 memory is still acceptable. However, more recent memory will be rated at 1.5V (or even 1.35V if you choose a low-voltage kit). Increasing the VCCIO voltage obviously gives you more overhead on your memory voltage (remember, add +0.5V at most or risk damaging your CPU).

    Yeah there's really no reason not to get the K- version of the sandy bridge CPU's, OC'ing with them is just simply changing a number on the multiplier.
