Final Build Advice

[Mnms67]

Hi sorry for the repedative questions but im building a new gaming pc and am constantly changing my mind on the parts for one reason or another, so im hoping this will be the final build. Below is the list of parts and i would appreciate it if ye could tell me if it's all compatible and also if theres anything you would recommend changing. My budget is roughly $1200. (Oh and i dont really plan to overclock in the near future).



CPU: AMD Phenom II X965 (with Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler)
Mobo:Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4, Socket-AM3
GPU: Sapphire HD5870 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
RAM:Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL7
PSU: Corsair TX 750W (i know this is overkill but i got a really good deal)
Hard Drive:Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB
Sony DVD±RW burner DRU-870S
Antec 900 case
Samsung 23" LCD Syncmaster P2370 (1920X1080)


PLease tell me if i left something out as i usually do. I appreciate all comments as this is my first build

Amazing power core, great ram, the one thing id *consider* is saving the cash on the Antec 900 and buying a CoolerMast 690, little more room for that 5870 (i run one too, blaaaaazin card).

PLUS the key to the CM is it has a fan spot on the bottom of the case to suck air up which blows directly into the 5870 intake vent, my card idles below 30c

Also the ability to put 2 x 120mm fans up top, is easier to replace, gives more color options and looks less like a spaceship.

Plus if you don't use all your drive bays you can mount a 120mm right above the bottom 120mm so from the front it looks just like the Antec.

All in all the CM690 will house SEVEN fans.

I bought a fan controller for $30 so i can turn em down to quiet it up significantly.



ANYHOW eitherway you'll be happy as all hell

PS: I figured you already knew this, and that you had pricing reasons but, this mobo has the most recent chipset and UsB3 and SATA6 AND xFire 8x8 .
