$1000 First PC Build- Advice on these parts?

[F_Pastor]

Hey, forum. I'm looking to build my first PC in about a week or so with around $1000-$1100 that my parents have been saving up for me. I plan to use it for gaming and probably a little bit of AutoCAD and 3DS Max for school (nothing too extensive).

I've chosen these parts and I was wondering if they were any good and if they are all compatible with each other (I'm pretty sure they are, but a double check from an outside source couldn't hurt, right?)

So here's the list (all products found on newegg):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790

I already have a keyboard, mouse, and an HDTV, so that takes care of that. Also probably getting Windows 7 Premium off of Amazon.com for about $90.

That all comes out to about $1056 in my newegg cart due to two combo deals between the CPU & Motherboard and the Case & PSU.
Links to both combo deals:

If anybody could double check compatibility between all these parts or recommend better components for the same price (really can't go above $1100, I'm already pushing it with my parents lol), then I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys

Oh, and if it helps, I live in central Jersey, so if anybody knows any good computer hardware stores in the area, that could help too.
Thanks again.

Not that one it's only a 500GB drive with it is that going to be good enough for you?

 

[TheBigTroll]

500gb should be enough as long as you dont put a ton of movies on the disk. using a 80gb drive for my laptop and i cant use more than 50gb

 

[F_Pastor]

I don't plan to have a ton of movies. I have a 3TB external drive to keep movies so I should be fine there. If the 500GB is good, should I stick with it? Or should I be safe and get the Toshiba (and how is quality from the Toshiba compared to WD Caviar Black? I'm pretty sure they're not equal, but would the Toshiba be alright?)?


Sorry for all these questions, btw, I can't help it, this is my first time for all this stuff.

 

[TheBigTroll]

toshiba is probably now made by WD (or seagate but i highly doubt)

500gb is good

look at the combo he is asing about look at the one i found http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1031787 is it still worth buying the one with lesser hard drive space i don't think so but i don't know

 

[bigcyco1]

get the one i am saying because 500gb same case for $164.98 vs same case 1tb $169.98 it's not a hard choice imo lol

 

[TheBigTroll]

id pay the extra 5 bucks for the extra space

 

[bigcyco1]

id pay the extra 5 bucks for the extra space

[F_Pastor]

Okay, I think this is the wrap up here guys.
So I'm getting:
•The Seasonic PSU mentioned before in this thread
•The Cooler Master HAF 912 & 1TB Hard drive combo
•Corsair 60GB SSD mentioned before
•EVGA GTX 560 Superclocked (mentioned before)
•Gigabyte mobo (Z77 UD3H) ($150 at microcenter)
•Intel i5-2500k ($160 at microcenter)
•Liteon Optical drive mentioned before
•8GB RAM mentioned before for $50
•Western Digital Powerline Adapter for $90

All with a grand total of $1000 before tax!

All parts should be good and compatible, right? Just one last check.

 

[TheBigTroll]

1:should have got the 7850 since it performs better
2:same thing with corsair SSDs. should have gotten a samsung 830 128gb
3:gskill ram is only 44.99

 

[F_Pastor]

I realize that the 7850 could've performed better and that the samsung 830 has more capacity, but they're just both too expensive for me at the moment.

I think the alternatives should be able to perform the tasks that I need them to do at a price that's good for me.
Plus, I still need to get an OS. If I choose Windows, then that's another $160 :/

I'll take the Gskill ram though haha.

 

[TheBigTroll]

you can buy the OS from this guy. hes pretty reliable. someone on this site bought it from him and had no problems
