Elephant Shoe Newb Techie Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 4	Will this set up work? Ok, I've came up with a setup for a new computer that I would like to build. I'm kind of rookie but I want to stay up to date and be modern. Here is what I came up with.. Computer Case: Newegg.com - Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases Processor:Newegg.com - Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops Hard Drive: SATA 1 TB (Nothing to hardcore, i.e 10,000+ RPM) RAM: Newegg.com - OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory Motherboard: Newegg.com - EVGA 132-BL-E758-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards Power Supply: Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies Video Card: nVidia EVGA 9800 GTX OS: Windows XP 64 bit CD/DVD Drive: Standard LG Drive I already have the Hard Drive, Video Card and the CD/DVD drive, so buying new ones wont be an option for me. ;-( Is this all compatible with each other? If not, why? Am I making any wrong choices? Any recommendations? Thanks!

Yeah, currently it doesn't fit my mid-tower, so might as well go full tower for some extra cable room etc.

Re: Will this set up work?
