Okay so it's been a year now after my first build and I'm bored & itching to get another one on the go I just want some final advice if what I've picked will work before ordering.


Case - Corsair Obsidian 800D
Mobo - Asus X58 Sabertooth
CPU - Intel i7 950
GPU - GTX 560Ti
PSU - Corsair Hx850
SSD - OCZ Bigfoot 120gb
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 12GB (3x4GB)
CPU Cooler - Titan Fenrir Evo

Thats roughly what I'm looking at for gaming/watching videos/bluray's any one got any alternate suggestions that i should take on board?

I also read somewhere that the Obsidian doesnt support SATA3 & USB3.0 but can buy parts to make it work would they be worth while looking to invest in?
 
Yeah i was just flicking through Corsair site and found that they offered USB3.0 & SATA3 accessories for the case wondered if it be worth having a look into. It looked like the SATA3 Panel is a partition that is between your HDD and mother board where the board plugs into the partition and partition is a quick connection for the HDD, not entirely sure I'm just guessing from pictures.
I'm not really into over-clocking I know very little about it and wouldn't like to risk doing it as an amateur lol.
Sandy Bridge is a no no seeing as Google is covered in "Recall's & Flaws" on it at the moment, If Im investing £250 into a small chip I'd rather it work first time and not worry about having to rip it all out if it doesn't work and wait forever for replacements.
