is everything compatiable ive been doing research on parts for days now

also do you guys think the gtx is overkill should i get a 7900 gt ?

thank alot guys also i do not plan on overclocking !
 
Nice rig ... you will get plenty of porn on that WDC :D

And gaming won't be too bad ether with that 7900 512 ;)
 
Two things:

1. I would strongly suggest AGAINST the Thermaltake Tsunami. I owned one for a short time and the plastic door cracked due to poor fitment of the 5.25 drive bays, the plastic door for the top aux. ports broke completely off, and the case was EXTREMELY loud.

For $10 more you could pick up a Coolermaster Stacker, or for $10 less you could pick up a Lian Li PC7 with dual 120mm fans.

2. If a 19" LCD is all you intend on buying, then a 7900GTX 512 is overkill. A 7900 GT would be more than up to the task of running any current and upcoming games at 1280x1024 with 4xAA enabled. Not to mention with the die shrink it has a ton of overclocking headroom and can perform on par with the GTX despite having half the onboard memory.

Everything else looks fine, well except maybe the keyboard/mouse combo. You're willing to spend $530 on a video card for gaming but not more than $30 for decently accurate input devices? I say downgrade the GTX and put the savings toward better speakers, keyboard, and mouse.
 
this comp is for my friend i told him to get a 7900 gt instead and safe money but he wont listen !!!

the graphics card is easy to upgrade in the future and th emoney i save i can put toward better stuff
