Hi guys,

Very first post and also very first attempt at building a new pc so please forgive any ignorant questions on my behalf.

Basically I am worried about three major things in my set up, the PSU, MOTHERBOARD and CASE. I will list these items that I have chosen now:

PSU = Corsair TX 850W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant Power Supply

MOTHERBOARD = Asus P6T Deluxe Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard

CASE = Coolermaster HAF 932 Case - Black (No PSU)

I have just a few questions about these products so please bear with me and once again apologies for stupid newbie questions.

1) Is the power supply I have chosen going to have all or enough of the relevant cables for this set up and is the wattage enough for a ATI 4870 X2 GFX card?

2) The case has 3 standard 230mm fans. Does this motherboard provide enough connections in to connect all 3 and maybe more?

3)I'm slightly concerned about cooling, so has the case I selected going to provide sufficient cooling for the Hard Drive and GFX Card? (I will not be overclocking).

Thanks for your time guys, I appreciate all the feedback you will give as I am itching to order this set up very soon.
 
And a more elaborate answer......


Corsair power supplies are very high quality, that one inparticular could handle 2 of those graphics cards, nevermind just one.

The case fans are connected to the power supply (which will be fine).

That case has brilliant cooling, one of the (if not THE) best in that price range.
