  1. Ok, so I am building a pc:

    here is my list of components, I am not sure if they are all compatible with each other, could someone please look over the list and tell me?
    Also if they are not compatible, could you give me a link to one within the same price that is compatible?
    Thank you.

    It'd be a bit easier with links to the products but i'm searching now haha.

    EDIT: Motherboard is not compatible with the i7 processor.

    Everything else looks good though.
     
  3. Not a combo I'd build myself, but what I've gone over so far looks somewhat acceptable for a budget build.

    I would recommend getting a different PSU, different DVD Drive, different ram, and definitely do not get an ECS motherboard. Also going with that type of video card you would probably want to find a comparable HIS brand as they are well built and you can save a bit of cash on it.
     
  4. Just curious, but what kind of hard drive are you going to use? Do you have a spare one sitting around or something, cause it isnt on your list. Otherwise the list looks pretty sweet

    That P45 chipset board is not compatable with the i7 920 CPU you have chosen. You have a P45/775 board while you need a X58/1366 for the i7. Here is my suggestion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157155

    Also i7 runs in triple channel and you have dual channel memory selected. You need 3 memory sticks for optimal performance.

    Your PSU is the heart of the computer and you should be running with a quality unit so all your components get stable power. Go with Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, Antec, Cooler Master, and OCZ units for your build.
