Intel Core i5 Build Verification?

[123pop]

I'm going to build an Intel Core i5 750 gaming computer. I picked out the parts, but need help making sure each part is compatible with each other. I also want to know if I can get a better deal.

That's the thread where I posted all of the parts and their prices.


Any custom PC building tips are appreciated.
THANKS

That hard drive. I'm probably going to buy one or two ( depending on if I have left over money ) then perhaps put them in RAID 0

Join Overclock.net and post in Intel General or something, there's a lot of users on there so you'll get responses quickly ( the fastest I got was like 3 minutes after my posting ) They helped me in all of my threads I've posted.

I have two of those short stroked in raid 0 (each one uses the first 100gigs on the drive for the OS partition) this keeps the common accessed data at the outer edges of the platter where reads are the fastest.

ZZF has them for $65

The 2nd partition should be used for storage or not at all. The goal is that the bulk of the i/o is done on the outer rim of the platters, if you are constantly accessing the other partition(s), it is pointless.
