Hello everyone, mainly what my problem is, this is my first time building a computer. I've never done it before in any way, shape or form, so i dont really know a lot about the insides of a computer. I am a gamer, so obviously i like to play games :) so the computer im trying to build is a gameing one but the problem is, with the limited knowledge i have about building a computer, i dont know if any one the following items i have bought, are compatible. One thing tho, is the graphics card im getting is a must, i dont want to change that.

So the graphics card i am getting is, the Nvidia geforce GTX 560 Ti.

and the processor im planning on getting providing they work together is the Phenom II x4 3.4 GHz processor.

and i was planning on getting a asus sabertooth x58 motherboard but i recently found out that wont work together with the processor, so i dont know what motherboard to get, can anyone recommend one, thats within the same price range that will work with the graphics card and the processor that will work just as good.

and a 750w power supply.

So my problem is, i want to know if all of theese i have listed, will work together? because i dont know a lot about the inside of a computer, im not actually sure what i should be looking for. So really the main question is.

Will all of theese work together and if they do, ill get straight to ordering them, and if not. What would you guys recommend as a replacement within the same sort of price range. That will work together.

Thank you for reading this everyone and have a great day.

Also sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i was not sure which forum would be best for this, so i just went with my gut instinct and went here. :)
 
Thank you, and my budget is £500, for the whole PC, Although i have to buy Ram, but thats not that bad anyway right? all i need to know is a good motherboard and processor to go with the graphics card, thats around the same price range as the ones ive listed, that would work well with each other, as for the operating system, im fine :)

Same goes for the mouse and keyboard, im good :)
 
I like to play mainly, FPS games, and MMorpgs, so like, call of duty, battlefield, guild wars 2 etc etc, as for a dvd-rw i alrdy have one of them on standby, same goes for a hard drive. :)
 
Erm, i have a PSU but to be honest i have no idea what Wattage it is, is there anyway to find out without actually opening up a PC?
 
Oh, thanks for the tip honosuseri :) im learning quite a bit today, this will be handy for the future if i decide to build another computer.
 
Once again, thanks for the tips. ill do just that, ill wait for the ivybridge CPU's, and yes i definitly know where to come if i need help. :)
