First computer build ever

[Mastergp]

I plan on building my first computer and i would like to know if i would run to any problems when putting it together. I just need a simple answer and if there is a problem with the setup any suggestions would be appreciated.

MOBO:ASUS P8Z68-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
CPU:Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K
GPU:x2Palit NE5X56T01102-1140F GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
RAM:CORSAIR Vengeance 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9
PSU:CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible
HDD:Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
DVD:SONY Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DDU1681S-0B - OEM

So what do ya'll think?

I picked that very low cost DvD rom drive because i'll barely use it and i need the 12 gigs of ram.

I'd get a single, powerful card rather than two midrange cards. I'd suggest a 6970 or gtx 580/570 depending on how much your budget can be adjusted. Also, I'm not doubting you, but what can you be using that would take up twelve gigs of ram? I can barely fill 4.

I would also advise getting a single card, say the 580- so you can upgrade later. Getting 2 cards straight away means you are kinda stuck if you want to upgrade a little bit later on.

If you're hellbent on getting two video cards then I'd suggest getting a better power supply. I have a 1000w that will be more than enough power for years to come.

[Mastergp]

Ok, so i did a search on the cards you just recommended and found
ASUS EAH6970/2DI2S/2GD5 Radeon HD 6970 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with

And

EVGA 015-P3-1580-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

I wanna go with the radeon but will it play most high end games like GTA4, crysis and the likes?Would i be able to max settings? it is what i'm worried about.

And the RAM..well not sure.. it feels like the right number since i run alot of applications at once like Itunes+GoogleChrome(which uses alot of memory)+Steam and other stuff i that like to leave open while gaming/working.

The memory you have selected is a tri channel package, your motherboard runs dual channel. I suggest getting a package containing 2 modules or 4.
Also I'd probably go for atleast a 1000 watt psu. A brand name like the corsair you have selected will last you a couple of computers, I've brought my 1000watts along from 2 other computers.

[Mastergp]

Wow thanks! Should have read the specs on the MOBO=|

Is that all Chronius?

[Orkela]

From what I understand you'll get similar performance out of the 580 as the dual 560s but you can add a second 580 later for a big boost.

You seem to lack a cpu cooler or are you planning on running the box?
Also I personally wouldn't build a new machine this day and age without atleast a 100gb+ SSD

Is running with the default cpu cooler a problem? I'll look into SSDs but they seem so expensive lol, trying not to reach $2,000 on this setup.

Thanks Mosh.

i recommend that u get an aftermarket heatsink. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103065 this one is relatively cheap and will make a huge difference over the stock one.

[Chronius]

You could shave off a buck or two buying a slightly cheaper motherboard. Do you need all the features of the current board?
Id assume you would only need the ability to use: a 1155 socket, ddr3 in dual channel, crossfire/sli, onboard sound, ethernet.

Also which case have you chosen?

[Mastergp]

Ok so final build!

yeah, i just need those features you just mentioned, as long as what ever mother board you suggest is compatible with the above build .

And I'm getting COOLER MASTER HAF 932 Blue RC-932-KKN3-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0

Seems fine.
Remember a 1000watt psu doesn't use more power than a 650watt psu unless the hardware demands it. The 1000watt would just be strained less.
