1000 Dollar Gaming PC Questions

[melonfarmerz]

Hey guys. I'm new to the whole PC building thing. I've done my fair share of research and I'm pretty sure my build is compatible.

I also have a very cheap sound card and disc burner not worth mentioning.

That said, here's my issue. The case I'm buying (Blackhawk) has a whopping 5 molex plugs for its fans and such. Does the Power Supply I'm getting even have that many molex plugs to support the case?

Also, in terms of all the USB3.0 slots and LED's offered by the case, the motherboard has me covered right? And before I purchase, I'd love some verification that I'm good to go and nothings going to not fit.

Thanks so much in advance. I really appreciate any help

Also, would you suggest a lesser motherboard since i'm not OC'ing?

Might go for the Gigabyte GA H87 D3H instead

That's a pretty decent build but if you're not overclocking you could get this and save some money:

Rosewill is good case. Rosewill cappstone and lightning are really good psus.

Buy cheaper seagate barracuda HDD you do not need WD black. WD bkue is better choise.
