This will be my first time building a computer.

I have a couple of questions.

The components that I have picked - will they all work together?

Is Building a computer hard?

Is there anything you would change?

Will the case psu be ok?

Anything else I would need?



Any help is appreciated

[aj2003]

thats gonna be a very nice comp when uve made it. yes putin it together is easy just plug everything where it fits really as long as u remember to plug everything is you should have no problems EXCEPT maybes with the power supply becuase ur using pci-e u need a atx2.0 psu and the only with that case isnt one. i have heard u can get it to work with a standard atx1.0 power supply like that is but ive never tried it myself. also it might be an idea to look at a msi or eVGA version of that graphics card as they are known to be good versions, but they are all very similar. hope this helps

Looks good to me, but I would reccomend spending the couple hundred more on the 6800GT, as 2x6600GT's are pretty equal to a 6800GT in most GAMES (not benchmarks). Not to mention that it will give you 1.5x the speed to boot. BUT the 6600GT is a good card, and if you are going to get next gen. before you do SLI, then go for the 6600GT

Also, as a first time builder you should be aware of the fact that ALL of the current SLI boards are full of bugs. The Asus A8N-SLI tends to have the most, but when configured properly, it is the fastest. MSI is slightly slower (.5-2%) but has less issues.
