Thats all i have selected. If more components are needed to make a computer run PLEASE REPLY AND EXPLAIN. If you have any suggestion...ALSO PLEASE REPLY AND EXPLAIN.
My questions....
Is everything I have selected supported with each other?
Will my computer case hold and support all these components?
My current monitor is from 2008, should i get a new one for the better video card or will this work fine?
What exactly is SATA? Do i need a SATA disk? or is SATA included with one of the components?
The thermaltake v9 can take laptop hard drives, will these hard drives work as a normal hard drive?
I noticed some items called SSD, which include names like SATA I, SATA II, and SATA III....do i need this to make my computer function?
Update = changed power supply to a cheaper one. Couldn't find a Corsair one with 700w.
Peetah:
Holy mother of Jesus u have alot of money.
From what I see here. Everything should work together fine.
The Gtx580 min requirements is a 600w so a 700w should be fine.
Now if u look at the case page. There is a bundle deal. That case + the Roswell 700w for 150$. Should go with that.
Your current psu your choosing right now is from a very premature company. So there stuff is pretty expensive. Go with the bundle.
Sata is a new interface for harddrives and cddrives. If u remember the old IDE the fat ass cables. Now are replaced with the newer and faster Sata which uses skinny small red cables.
SSD is a new technology in harddrives. Instead of a spinning disk it uses flash memory. It is much faster much more efficient. Does not produce heat or noise.
BUT it is very expensive and low capacity at this moment.
Cake Faice:
Aslong as that case is an mid/full ATX tower, you have all the components to run it.
But on the 580...eh, you could save a bit more $$$ if you choose a ATI Radeon. But its your call.
Thank god you didnt waste your money on an Alienware.

Alright, that's pretty damn good for the first computer you ever built.
But I'd recommend reading up a bit on this hardware guide for the month. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/buyers-guide/2010/11/03/pc-hardware-buyer-s-guide-november-2010/1 It dosn't include the 580 in the guide since it came out a week after this guide was updated.
But I agree on the PSU issue. I'd personally recommend going with Corsair Power supplies they are extremely excellent power supplies and not too expensive.
If you would like, give me a budget,
And order these words from first to last in order of importance (First being most important, last being least.)
- Performance
- Gaming
- Sound Quality (How important is great sound quality to you?)
- Blue-Ray Player (Would you like a blue-ray player?)
- Quietness
- Bling ( How much do you want your computer to stand out, Or not stand out)
After that I'll give you the best set-up I can think of, although case choice will be more of a personal thing.
If there is anything else you would like me to consider let me know.
Then afterwards you are free to disregard or use as much of my supplied advice.

Also I have my old ATI Radeon 2400 HD in this computer. If I buy the new one...can i move this graphics card into it? Or does it have to be two of the same.
