Another Gaming Build of mine.

[warliccilraw]

Well I made another one. Again. So this is my final build and ALL I am asking if they are all compatible and will fit in my case. *I am not changing anything only if they won't fit in the case or are not compatible*.

Here is the build. Also should I get 500gb or 1tb? I have a 160gb hard drive which I plan to use for windows 7.
One more thing. Should I get the SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon HD 6870 or the HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X? The HIS is just 10$ more.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 AM3 3.4Ghz 512KB 45NM 125W 4000MHZ
ASUS Socket AM3+ - Hybrid Crossfire Integrated Graphics Support AMD 760G DDR3 1600 Micro ATX Motherboards M5A78L-M LX
HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X 1GB
Corsair 8gb
GAMMA Classic Series ATX Mid Tower Interior Steel Chassis (Black)
Corsair Builder Series CX600 600 watt 80 Plus Certified Power Supply Compatible with Intel and AMD Platforms ATX 700 CMPSU-600CXV2
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB SATA III 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive - WD5000AAKX

All together=$553.11 with free shipping from amazon.
With 1TB hard drive=$574.70

from what i know, the commander case has pretty terrible build quality. id definitly throw another 5 dollars and get a antec one case. right now they raised the prices a little though

 

[warliccilraw]

I forgot. I gotta get these parts from ALL one site. I don't want to have shipping or tax. So either amazon or anything else.

 

[TheBigTroll]

you could set the website to only display the prices of one store. id go us.ncix.com since they have free shipping but it depends

[warliccilraw]
