I am building my first tower and I would just like to make sure that all these parts will fit together when I buy them and will this psuhave all the right connections to sli gtx 460's. Also will I need anything extra to be able to put it together or cool it down ?

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

Motherboard: MSI NF750-G55 ATX AM3 (link doesn't work for some reason)

RAM: G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Ripjaws PC3

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 460

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB

DVD Writer: LG 16X DVD-ROM Optical Drive SATA Black OEM

Case: Cooler Master Haf 932

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

PSU: Corsair 750w (Does this have all the connections to sli ?)

Wireless: ASUS PCI-G31 Wireless Network Adapter

So will I be able to buy all of these and hook them up without buying anything else ? Will it run cool without buying any aftermarket parts ?

In the motherboard specs it says that it supports 1600mhz ram so I think it will work.

Should I get the X6 1055t instead of the X4 965 ? The 965 does more fps in games, but the X6 has six cores.

Man the 965 is a powerful CPU and the performance will be good. Yeah but the FPS is mostly up to the graphics card and you're GPU is pretty good. If you want to get the X6 go ahead but the 965 is great.

i would go with the X6, but if you're on budget go 955 not 965. theres not that big of a difference between 955 and 965, you'd just save 20$ i think..

Looks good. But wait until tonight to order if you are planning to buy it now. NCIX is having a sale to mark the opening of their first Ontario store in Markham, so you might be able to find some good deals there.

System looks amazing. I want it now! I have a HAF 932 and its amazingly spacious. Also I suggest modular power supply. My one regret on my build.

I would not get any 6-core cpu now. Not even all games use quads right now. By the time games start using 6 cores these cpus will be teh suck.
