People on these forums have already helped me a lot in prepping my first build, and have proven themselves very knowledgeable, so I figured you guys could tell me if the components I've chosen are all compatible with each other.

I've already ordered some parts already from OcUK:


1 x Q6600 Intel Core 2 Quad Pro "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

1 x Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card - OEM


And I'll be ordering a load more either tonight or tomorrow:


1 x Asus P5N-T Deluxe Nvidia 780i SLI DDR2 ATX Motherboard - Socket LGA775

1 x BFG Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB 1024MB PCI-Express 2.0 DDR3 HDMI Graphics Card

1 x Patriot Extreme Performance Viper Series 4GB 2 x 2GB DDR2 PC2-8500 1066Mhz Memory

1 x Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gamer Case

1 x Corsair TX 750W Ultra Quiet PSU SLI & Crossfire Ready

1 x Samsung Spinpoint HD501LJ 500GB SATA II 16MB Cache - OEM

1 x Samsung SH-S203D SATA 20x Dual layer DVD±RW Black - OEM

Tbh, I'm a little nervous that I will seriously mess this build up. Can anyone tell me if all of these components are compatible with each other? And whether I'm likely to have any major headaches in assembling them?

Probably doesn't help now, unless you can quickly cancel your order but there is this bundle on OCUK:

Its got everything the same apart from the ram and it has a much better cooler - not sure if it works out cheaper or not with the diff ram though. Everything else you have spec'd looks fine though. I think a corsair HX620 would be a better choice as its modular.
