Hello, hopefully someone can help me out here.
I'm horrible at picking parts, been reading these forums up and down and this is what I came up with:
Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5
PCI-Express 2.0,"VAPOR-X", 2xDVI-I, HDMI, DisplayPort, Full-Retail
Fractal Design Newton R2 800W PSU
ATX 12V V2.3, 80 Plus, Modular, 4x 6+2pin PCIe, 12x SATA, 135mm Fan
Intel Core™ i7 Quad Processor i7-930
Quad Core, 2.8Ghz, Socket 1366, 8MB, 130W, Boxed w/fan
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, X58
Socket-1366, DDR3, ATX, USB3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, 2xPCI-Ex(2.0)x16
Cooler Master HAF 922 Midi Tower Sort
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX 1600MHz 6GB CL8
Kit w/3x 2GB BallistiX modules, CL8-8-8-24, 1.65V, for Core i7
Sony NEC Optiarc DVD±RW burner AD-7240S
DVDRW 24x, DL, RAM, SATA, Bulk, Black
Western Digital Caviar® Black™ 500GB
, Sata 3 Gb/s, 32MB Cache, 7200RPM
Microsoft Windows 7 Pro EN
OEM, 64bit
The computer will mainly be used for playing WoW (and yes I know most say any pc can play it, but I'm sick of playing with horrible fps and low graphics on pcs that got stats way above recommended).
-Will these parts work together?
-Should I choose another version of win 7? (or should I drop it and stick to winxp?)
-Will 800w be enough? (Will it be enough if I add another gfx card later?)
-I'm a bit confused by 1366 and 1156 socket, will this be fine for upgrading later or should i choose something with 1156 socket?
-Memory? there is 358756546 brands and types and weird numbers, I think my brain shut down somewhere around graphic cards
Will this one work fine? I'm not in the UK at the moment so I'm a bit limited when it comes to brands.
-Do I need more cooling/cables/things?
-Anything else I should think about?
As you probably understood I'm a real noob at this so all help are greatly appreciated

)here in Norway. Would the 750w corsair do the job (or maybe even 650w?) with one gfx card? Could always get an Antec psu and another gfx card when I go back to UK later this year.
