PC build help

[15357]

Ok, I'm gonna go and build that PC that I've been planning to do so for the past few months.


Now, I've chosen GTX260 for the GPU, AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE for the CPU, and a ASRock M3A780GXH/128M for the board.


Should I go ahead with the board? I pretty much made up my mind about the GPU and CPU.

Also, HDD will be WD 1TB Caviar Black WD1001FALS (SATA2 /7200/32M). Is this compatible/good?

Oh, and Heroichi HEC-Rapter 500WP Or FSP 500-60APN for the power? The latter is more expensive, so I'm inclined to go with the Rapter..... but any opinions?



Thanks in advance.

I was worried about the Raptor PSU until I looked at it on Newegg, not bad for $45. 500 watts is getting pretty close to the amount of wattage your setup will be pulling so don't suprise me with some huge fan controller or something that's gonna be putting you over your PSU's wattage. The card is fine except I wish you'd tell me exactly WHICH 260. Never been a fan of Asrock but haven't heard bad things about them for the past year so maybe they're up'd their game. Where exactly are you getting your parts from because Newegg lists that mobo as being unavailable. You could do better on the mobo by the looks of it and what kind of RAM are you getting? WHat kind of case?
