Building my computer, and I need help.

[Stratos1212]

Okay guys, I've been wanting to build my own computer for a really long time, and now that I came across some extra dough, I'm in the process of choosing parts n such. Only problem is I have little or no idea really as to what specs my parts should have. I have picked out a few parts already like the case, processor, motherboard, hard drive, and video card. The case can hold the mobo and the processor is compatible with the mobo aswell, so really I need help choosing the missing parts that I need and if the ones I chose already should be different or have more than one. Thank you guys so much. Any help is GREATLY appreciated

Case:
Newegg.com - NZXT M59 - 001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Processor:
Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor
Mobo:
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3 LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Hard Drive:
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EARS 1TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

An i7 based processor is great for boxing.
I'd recommend getting 6gb of ddr3 ram to go with that.

The WD Green drives aren't bad, but something a little faster would be better.
Unless you want to go with a large drive for storage, and a low end SSD for the gaming folder.

Depending on your game, the video card should be good; it'll 5-box wow quite fine.

Great, yeah im planning to use my computer to play pretty heavy games (WoW, Crysis, SC2) but also what other parts am I missing that i need to get, obviously not a screen, but like internal parts in order for me to start putting it together.

Power Supply, maybe a sound card and your pretty much done you might want a 3rd party cpu cooler

Im trying to look for RAM parts and i seem to not be able to find anyhting. Can anyone link me a good brand or product, all of the RAM sticks I keep finding are DD3 but have 512MB and the 2G are all DD2, also is 6 gigs of RAM like the minimum to run those games at full settings?

You'll also want a 64-bit operating system, the Window 7 version of choice.

Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,Memory,Desktop Memory,6gb

Corsair or OCZ i generally go with

At the minimum you need to get a 600w power supply just in case you want to go crossfire(at minimum), if you do plan to upgrade graphics in the future then you want a 750 watt power supply.

Also the 1TB harddrive will be slow, so when you want to run 5-box style, you will waiting a while for each of the WoWs to load. 5400 rpm is good, but get 7200 rpms, much better writing and reading, also Windows load speed will be affected Unless you take previous advice and get SSD along with this drive.

There are $99 SSDs I believe out now, you might want to grab one of those to put WoW on.

So as far as HDD go would these two be good?

Newegg.com - OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX30GXXX 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
