Well I'm building another computer as mine is a little out dated. I'm thinking on using the following parts. Could I get feed back on them. I'm pretty sure they're all compatible with each other and I'm not sure whether or not I'm missing something. Just want to cover everything before I buy. I've included the model and item number from New Egg just in case.

I don't think your motherboard and CPU are compatible. Your board says socket 1156, but your processor is a socket 1366.

Ah yes, well taking your advice I went back to new egg and it says it's compatible. I just had to look through the specs a little.

Well let me go through the site a little bit more and find an acceptable and compatible pcu.

On the motherboard's page it will say it's compatible with the i7, but some of the i7s use the 1156 socket, (all the 8xx series I think).

Alright I have updated the first post with a compatible cpu. Is there anything I really need for this computer to work? This is just the beginning. I just need to get some compatibility down before I go and start putting extras in it.
