Please Help me with this config

[Guest]

Hi everyone I am green as the spring grass on building a new pc and I was wondering if any one is willing to help out or point out and flaws I have with the PC component setup. It would be much appreciated.

Basically I am looking at a half decent gaming machine that wont break the bank and good warranties. I have been working on this config for sometime but I wanted anyones proffesional opinion or opinions in general from any other builders to point out anything that I need to know. I am eager at building this but hesitant. So here it is:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advice <----- that board is spendy, you want a 750w psu if you u plan on running dual 560's at some point, that RAM isn't the correct voltage for these 1155 boards. You want 1.5v and not 1.65v...etc... please copy and paste that on here.
