First Time Builder

[thisisthename]

Hi everyone. I'm new here and I'm looking for a little bit of help to make sure all of these parts will work together. This is my first time building but I think that all of these parts will fit together.

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ955FBGMBOX

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL

SAPPHIRE 100312-3SR Radeon HD 6950 Dirt3 Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support

SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold ((SS-650KM Active PFC F3)) 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD

Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

I am also considering a SSD to run OS off of. Thoughts?

Hi there, welcome. I have almost the same setup as you, apart from the GPU and Memory. I have a Radeon HD6850, and G.Skill Ripjaws 8Gb (PC312800). I can say my system runs very smooth and fast. It plays Crysis2 a treat at 1600x1200, with all the eye candy and tesselation. On the note regarding the SSD drive I would. I have a Corsair F60 SSD as my system OS boot drive, with some apps on and two 500Gb 7200 SATA Drives for everything else.

It all looks good to me. If you're interested in an SSD I'd suggest reading Tom's recent SSD review and the issues that exist with all the major SSD brands.
