This look good to you to play COD4 , crysis and overclock?
 
Looks good that. Should all go together nicely, like The Craig said though, you'll need an OS if you don't already have one. And I think maybe this power supply would be just as good, as I know of many people on here who swear by them. And tbh you're never going to use over 400W unless your run 2 Gfx cards and add lots of gizmos to your setup. 520W should be more than you need, and it's modular too so there aren't any nasty unused cables hanging around on the inside of your case :) I've actually got this psu in my case and I've had no problems with it so far. I'd go with the Corsair one to be safe though.

And for the guides I used, I just used this one really helpful guide written a while ago here. It's really simple once you get goin, and once it's stable you won't need to mess with it again.

Like i said though that spec you did would be fine (as long as you have an OS), but if you want to save some money and go for a power supply that has a good reputation, go for that Corsair one.
 
can i ask is it hard to fit the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler and do i need any Thermal Compound also what that stuff do :)
 
well when i fitted my freezer 7 to my mobo, it wasn't hard at all. ok you do have to apply some force when you're clipping it in, but not a massive amount. however my mobo is different to the one you specced, so i can't say really, you might want to get an opinion of someone who's fitted one of these to this brand of mobo before. You'll know when it's in though because it makes a nice 'click' and when you've got all four of the plugs in, there should be no movement at all.

as for the thermal compound, that cooler already comes with some pre-applied, so you shouldn't need any (well, I didn't anyway), and I've not had any trouble with cooling. And basically the thermal compound is like a liquid conductor (well it's not exactly runny; it's more of a gel) that conducts the heat off your cpu and onto the heatsink. I think modern thermal compound is made partially from silver so that it conducts the heat better.
 
no problem. if you have any more questions you could post them on this thread and start a new one, depending on what stage of your build you're at. hope it all goes ok :)
