I'm not clicking on eight links just to see what the components are, how about a description to go with the links mate.
 
Hello everyone. I want to build a computer, and I already bought my case. Are the parts I am about to list compatible with one another, and are they good?

Features
Features RAID-specific time limited error recovery - Improves error handling coordination with RAID adapters and prevents drive fallout caused by extended drive error-recovery processes.
Reliability in high duty cycle environments - Utilizing enterprise-class manufacturing processes, these drives are designed with enhanced reliability in a 24x7, high duty cycle environment.
Built to last - Made for years of high-performance operation around the clock. Reliability demonstration testing indicates a mean time between failure (MTBF) of one million hours.
Fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor - Improves hard drive reliability; reduces heat, vibration, and noise.
Improved power controller - Consumes less power and generates low heat.
FlexPower — connector technology that accepts power from either industry-standard or new SATA power supplies.
Hot plug support — allows swapping of hard drives without having to power down the system or reboot; promotes system design flexibility, data availability, and serviceability.
Backplane compatibility — uses the SATA industry standard connector which includes alignment ears and 3-stage electrical mating sequence designed specifically for backplanes and hot pluggability.

lol

hey man newegg is a great site and most every one of those items I bet you has at least 20 reviews, mostly written by newegg customers..

so read them, they'll point you in the right direction, from there its just your spending range.
 
Lol that sounds like an outstanding system, that would probably run most video games on the market, as long as they don't have crazy standards.

But yeah, I would definitely go for that.
 
Motherboard: etc ....... snip ........
Well I guess I asked for that, I had a good laugh :D

So we have:

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
E2180 (and for some reason a heap of video card specs) :p
GeForce 8500GT
Western Digital Caviar 250GB SATA 3.0Gb/s
LITE-ON DVD Burner 20x IDE
COOLER MASTER 650W
COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP

No ram (I clicked the link, one out of eight aint so bad ;) )

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Yep, it will all work together fine.


I would suggest looking at a SATA burner (no bulky ide cable) and is there any particular reason you went for such a low powered cpu?? Is a quad over your budget? or even a higher clocking dual core? If it were me I'd be looking further up the tree for a gpu as well, but as you have given no budget I'll hold off on anymore recommendations.
 
Well, looks like he's going for a lower budget build by the cheaper video card and budget mobo.

I think it look like a nice build, good luck!
