New Build....

Hi all, hoping you can all provide some valuable input (as always):

Looking to purchase this set of components tonight:

Intel i5 750 Processor (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172755)
Asus P7P55 Motherboard (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176820)
OCZ 4Gb DDR3 2000Mhz (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/191195)
XFX ATI HD5850 (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/196443)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB drive (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173804)
OCZ Stealth 600Watt Power Supply (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127861)
NZXT Beta Black ATX case (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/170039)
120mm case fans (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/63281)

I just want to make sure everything looks in order (in terms of compatiability), and that there aren't any glaring holes I've missed.

I'm going to have fun learning how to build this rig, and how to overclock (I understand with this motherboard I need to overclock to get the most out of the RAM)

I am a novice here so any input would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully this setup will be pretty strong in terms of gaming / graphic design?

Thanks :D

no need for the additional case fan unless you REALLY want it

The case only comes with one pre-fitted fan, and that may be cutting it close considering the heat output of the chosen components.

I'll get an extra 2 case fans, they are dirt cheap so shouldn't be a problem.

Is the rest of the setup OK in terms of compatiability / performance?

Any help? :)

That is a good setup. If you don't want to overclock you can go with 1600 MHz RAM (you won't be able to tell the difference between it and the 2000 MHz). If you are going to overclock you will need an aftermarket cpu heatsink. The stock Intel cooler does alright as long as you aren't overclocking.jtcraft
