I am looking build my first pc and after looking up parts and reviews I am more lost than before I started.
This is what i was looking at for parts.But want to make it the best I can So would swap parts other makes models and such

SilverStone FT02B-W Fortress Black/Red ATX Case, No PSU

ASUS Crosshair IV Formula - AMD 890FX - Socket AM3 - PCI-E 2.0 - DDR3 1600/1800/1866 - SATA 6Gb/s RAID - SupremeFX X-Fi Audio - CrossFire - ATX

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Six-core Processor - 3.20 GHz, 9 MB Cache, Socket AM3, 125W, 45 nm, 3 Year Warranty, Retail Boxed

Corsair Dominator 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 Desktop Memory

Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB internal Hard Drive SATAII 32MB Cache 7200RPM – OEM (Not That Important Which HDD i Have just picked one)

EVGA 1536MB GDDR5 GeForce GTX 580 Dual DVI Mini HDMI, PCI-E Retail - 015-P3-1580-ER

PSU Not picked one yet Still looking at them

Optical drives Not picked one yet Still looking

I have about £1000 to spend can go more but not much more
Also would like to know if these parts work well together and if they would fit thinking of the ram and CPU heatsink
I would also like to future proof it as much as possible

To keep the costs down using my existing monitors, mouse, keyboard and os and storage drives(just need a main HDD)
 
go sandy bridge, faster in every way.

Nice, very nice.
That HD6950 will flash to a HD6970 - almost comparable to a GTX580, and SB will be so much faster than PII X6.

Stulid, check your mail! :mad:
 
+1 to Stulid's build. If you want you can get the OEM version of the 2500K with a better CPU cooler. The OEM version is about £15 cheaper.
