First System- Thoughts and Suggestions

[BlaqReaper]

Hi. I have a budget of ~700-800 dollars and this is my first attempting at building a PC. Are all the parts compatible with each other and is there anything else/or better alternative that I should be getting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

whats your monitor resolution?

 

[Luci3nd4r]

Save money get this instead.
AMD Phenom II X4 955 $155.99

This is much better and cheaper motherboard
ASRock 870 EXTREME3 $99.99

This is better case with good airflow.
COOLER MASTER HAF 922 $89.98

Better get 1GB video card
EVGA GTX 460 $199.99

This is uses CAS 7 faster timings and better overclocking.
G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB $89.99

Your stock AMD cooler will do fine on stock speeds. If your planning to overclock get this.
Scythe SCMG-2100 $39.99

Total: $807.91 w/o shipping with your other components

Ah thanks for the help. I actually don't have a monitor either, but I plan on having one with a decent resolution. I know that's not too specific. Anyways thanks for the inputs so far .

Muskin RAM is selling at a nice price these days. I favor them a bit more, too.

^ That looks like a good build, but it also looks a bit over budget. Maybe drop that 6870 down to a 6850 and get a more mainstream Gigabyte or Asus mobo?
